    About 133 years later, a fish and chip shop called 'Jack the Chipper' was opened around the same area where the victims of Jack the Ripper were barbarically murdered.

      I *HIGHLY* doubt the "fish" there's real fish given the name of the restaurant and where it's located; doesn't matter if it was 133 years ago to me, I'm not trusting that place.

      Most murderers like that don't feel pride when they've gotten away with it. It becomes something like breathing, they simply do what they must do, and they know they're hurting someone. They made a choice to satisfy themselves regardless, and it's entirely possible that he was glad he wouldn't have to do it anymore, on his deathbed.

    The terror these women must have felt is horrible. The way they say “last seen…” always disturbs me because you never know if a random person you saw or talked to or passed on the street might have been the last time anyone saw them alive and breathing and safe. You may have just witnessed that persons last moments before they were killed. Disturbing, but despite that, it’s an interesting but tragic part of history

    How intriguing is Jack the Ripper's legend, you ask? At the same time Jack was active, another, also unidentified serial killer was likewise active in London (assuming it wasn't the same person, that is). This individual, the Thames Torso Killer, left nothing but the torsos of his victims behind, including one in the basement of an under construction police station.
    That's right. Jack the Ripper is so intriguing, people remember him ahead of someone who does things you'd think only a Batman villain could/would do.

    but in the games he is secretly one of the assassin members, he targets Jacob Frye during the first few minutes but his sister fought him, but realized that his identity can't be revealed due to the fact that he is one of their own assassin's brothers.
