4. The removal of internal organs from three of the Ripper’s victims raised suspicions that the perpetrator had knowledge of anatomy or surgery. Some vital organs were also missing from each victim, and the bodies were found in a mutilated state. One victim was even found with only one kidney, believed to have been stolen by the perpetrator. Most victims also had diagonal throat wounds. This mutilation case became one of the most sadistic in the world.

Aaron Kosminski: A Polish Jewish immigrant living in Whitechapel at the time of the murders. He was one of the prime suspects of his time, although the evidence against him is weak. 2. Montague John Druitt: A barrister who committed suicide in December 1888, a few weeks after the last Jack the Ripper murder. Druitt became a suspect due to losing his job and his unstable behavior.
