Did You Know Who Jack the Ripper was?

By Samantha Richards


Jack the Ripper was a notorious serial killer in the year 1888 in London, he murdered 5 women who were all prostitutes by profession and he badly mutilated their bodies. It is now believed that the true identity of the sadistic killer has been revealed.

Mei Trow, a historian claims that he has discovered the identity of Jack the Ripper by using modern police forensic methods which includes geographical and psychological profiling. He concluded that Jack the Ripper was actually a man named as Robert Mann who was a morgue worker in Whitechapel area where murders took place.

After two years of extensive work, Trow found out the identity of Jack the Ripper. His research stemmed from the information that he got from FBI examination of the Ripper case in 1988 which had produced a comprehensive criminal personality profile. FBI established that Jack was a white male, who belonged to the lower class and had a bad family background.

FBI profile of Jack also stated that the killer used to do menial work in the society but had a little anatomical knowledge like butcher, mortuary officer or medical assistant. He lived for a long time without human interaction which is why he was socially incompetent. Jack belonged to a troubled family where his father was not around for his upbringing and Jack also worked in his childhood in a workhouse.

Trow wanted to explore and he wanted to know more about the person who used to wear hat, coat and carried a knife, he found out that Jack was an ordinary guy. Trow also brought forward a surprising theory that Jack may have killed 2 more women after 5 women were confirmed as his work of brutality.

The bodies of Polly Nichols and Annie Chapman (victims of Jack) along with dead bodies of other two women were taken by police to Whitechapel mortuary where Jack used to work. Robert Mann (Jack the Ripper) was then called by the police to be the witness and confirm the reason of death of Polly Nichols but later on police unaccredited Robert's testimony by stating that Robert's memory has been affected by his fits, which is why it's unreliable.

Another point that made Trow suspect Robert Mann was that he undressed Polly's dead body with the help of his assistant; although he was sternly told by Inspector Spratling to not touch the dead body. According to Trow, this was done by Mann possibly to admire his own horrific work. This research of Trow is the most up to date in a long line of theories which were all about to find out the identity of Jack the Ripper.
