• Low city and social life, keeping things anonymous

• Poverty and desperation of Whitechapel at the time

Questions that we should ask
Who was he?
How did he behave
What was he like?
What was his life like?
What caused him to be a murderer?
Where did he originate from?
Did his childhood cause his actions?
Was he forced to kill?
Was he trying to convey a message?
 Prime Suspects

Aaron Kosminski

Joseph Barnett Prince Albert Victor

Joseph Barnett
 Joseph Barnett
Joseph Barnett was a one time
partner of a ripper victim, Mary Jane
Kelly.
He was the only suspect we have had
that is so closely connected, and his
profession and social life tell a vital
story of his personality.
Aaron Kosminski
 Aaron Kosminski
Aaron Kosminski is one of the most
well known suspects for Jack the
ripper due to his DNA being found in
the 4th murder of Catherine
Eddowes. Identified as a jew, and
having evidence linking him to the
ripper, Aaron kosminski is the closest
name so far.
Prince Albert Victor
 Prince Albert Victor
When you hear a royalty member is a suspect
for jack the ripper, most dots wouldn’t connect.
Prince albert victor was a member the royal
family and was regarded as a ”disappointment
to the throne”. Many questions have been asked
around his name, but it is still very difficult to
conclude this statement. Studies show that he
was active throughout the Whitechapel District,
and died just one year after the last murder.
Perhaps his death was a suicide to cover up
from his mistakes?
