Throughout history, no criminal has captured the imagination of the world like JTR. A serial killer in 19th century London, he has been portrayed in countless works, fiction and non-fiction, and many are still being produced today. His story has a cult-like following unmatched by any other crime in history, and his story is now more popular than ever. This essay will discuss what is behind the fascination, both at the time and now, one hundred and fifteen years later. The discussion will also involve how is portrayed today… blah blah blah There has been speculation over exactly how many JTR killed, but the five murders commonly accepted as his took place between August 31, 1888 and November 9, 1888. All were prostitutes, took place in the East End in a period known as the Autumn of Terror. The murders occurred within a mile area in the districts of Spitalfields, Whitechapel, Aldgate and the City of London proper. The murders involved horrific mutilations and facial disfigurations. Whilst crime was commonplace in the area at the time, this was the first time a serial killer had operated in a large metropolitan area. The name ‘JTR’ originates from a series of letters sent around the time which claimed to be from the murderer.
