Introduction The Whitechapel Murders were a series of eleven murders which occurred between Apr 1888 and Feb 1891. Ten of the victims were prostitutes and one was an unidentified female (only the torso was found). It was during this period that the Jack the Ripper murders took place. Even today, 2012, it still remains unclear as to how many victims Jack the Ripper actually killed. However, it is generally accepted that he killed at least four of the "Canonical" five.

--()-- The Maps The following maps overview the various sites associated with the Whitechapel murders. Map 1 is Charles Booth's 1889 map of London Poverty - Charles Booth colour-coded various areas of London according to the level of poverty of each particular locale. It is significant that several of the Whitechapel murders occurred in the "poorer" areas. Map 2 onwards, details the various Whitechapel Murder Site Locations.
