Jack the Ripper's one man reign of terror began on the early morning of August 31, 1988, with the discovery of Mary Ann Nicholls body in the gutter of an East End street.  During the next 10 weeks his crimes were marked by increasing savagery leading to the double to the double murder of September 30 and to the blood saturnalia of Mary Jane Kelly's murder on Novermber 9, after which the carnage ceased as suddenly as it had begun.
