This was the fifth and final time Jack would strike. At number 13 Miller's Court Marry Kelly's savagaed remaines were found. The young irish girl who was led through life by drink and prostition, she was said to be the Ripper's last victum. The attack was so deradful that the police believed that the killer's taste for grusome murders and his thirst for blood had finally been satisfied. .
Jack's first victum was Mary "Polly" Nichols. She was at the age of 42 when Jack The Ripper's icy hand took her life. SHe was the wife of a printer and the mother of five children before her husband had eloped with one of her friends in 1877. That was when she had been trapped in the downward spiral of drink and prostition. Her final days were spent living as a servant girl in the "White House" doss-house on Flower and Dean Street. Her body was laid to rest in Ilford Cemetery on September 6th, 1888.
His second victum was Annie "Dark Annie" Chapman. "Dark Annie" met her death on a foggy night all alone. She was suffering from brain and lung diseases which would have soon claimed her life if Jack's Knife hadn't. She wondered the East End Streets with no money at all following her husbands death in 1886. Cruelly treated by life, she had two daughters, one died in 1882, and a son who was crippled. She was living off of small earnings and selling matches and flowers on the street to passerbyers. She was buried in secret, at Manor Park on September 14th 1888 by her family.
Jack's third victum was Elizabeth "Long Liz" Stride. Elizabeth was born in Gothenburg, Sweden in November 18 43, she was named Elizabeth Gustafsdotter. In 1866 she married John Thomas Stride, who was a carpenter, after becoming a registered prostitute and giving birth to a still born girl and moved to London. They were supposedly living on Gower Street in London. The Strides still kept a coffee shop even though their marriage broke down in 1882.
