1888 important events in Britain

Time: A.D. 1888

1On August 7, 888, a bloody case broke out in Whitechapel, East London, England. A prostitute suffered a sharp knife cut her throat and died of 39 stab wounds all over her body.

In the following two months, a number of serial murders continued to occur in the Eastern District, which also targeted prostitutes and used the same cruel means, causing anxiety among local residents and shocking Scotland Yard in London.

At that time, the East End of London was actually a mixed place, where poor people, villains and prostitutes all lived together. The security situation has been poor for a long time, and the London police have been criticized for having no clue about this series of murders.

The key to the sharp decline in cases occurred at the end of September of the same year, when a newspaper received a letter signed "Jack the Ripper".

The content was written in red ink, and the letter clearly stated that he was the real murderer of a serial murder from Whitechapel, with a handprint at the end of the letter. The second letter was received at the beginning of 10. Judging from the words used by lower-class people in China, it is obvious that it was done by the same person and full of provocation.

Thus, through the wanton exposure of the media, Jack the Ripper became a mysterious infiltrator that frightened all British people. In foggy London, there is an elusive and bloodthirsty killer.

Jack the Ripper's murder didn't stop, and then he committed the last tragic case-the murder of mary carey.

1 1 On September 9th, Mary Carey was found dismembered by the landlord and died in a rented house. Not only did she remove her uterus by laparotomy, but the murderer also cut off her ears and nose, removed her breasts and arranged these organs in the shape of a human face.

The police concluded that Mary was brutally killed for more than three hours before her death.

However, just when the police thought that Jack the Ripper would carry out a more cruel and larger murder plan, Jack's action came to an abrupt end, and he disappeared forever, leaving only the suspicion that the world never stopped. However, the most unified statement is that Jack is a doctor.

2. Liz Bowden

Time: A.D. 1892

Many people think Lizzie has committed murder. Although she never admitted it, the jury came to the conclusion that she was innocent. Lizzie Bowden is a 32-year-old girl who was accused of killing her father and stepmother with a knife.

Although she was finally acquitted, people knew that she had always held a grudge against her stepmother, and the day before the murder, she had predicted what would happen.

She was 30 years old when the murder happened. 1892 At noon on August 4th, Lizzie Bowden called her neighbor and said that her father had been killed. When the police arrived, they found her mother dead too.

Mother was chopped with an axe 18, and father was chopped 10. The news spread immediately, and the media believed that Lizzie himself was extremely suspected of murder. However, in June of the following year, the court acquitted Lizzie.

Since then, her stories have been widely circulated and written into novels, ballets, Broadway and operas. Finally, Japanese textbooks included her nursery rhymes as fairy tales of Mother Goose.

3. Black Axe in New Orleans

Time:1918—1919.

This may be a white man. He seems to be particularly hostile to Italian grocery stores. He killed at least eight Italian grocers. He always pried open the door at night and hacked the sleeping people to death with an axe.

But this kind of murder stopped completely in June of 19 19-perhaps because the man with the axe died-no one knows what his motive is, but it is obviously not for money.

4. Wallace case

Time: 193 1 year.

The murder of Julia Wallace reads like a detective novel. On this day, Wallace received a mysterious phone call saying that it was from the chess club and asked him to visit someone at an address.

After Mr. Wallace left, his wife was brutally killed at home, and the motive for killing could not be judged. Wallace went to a fake address.

Wallace was also tried, but the court in London ruled that he was not guilty. Some murder experts believe that Mrs Wallace's killer is still alive and probably still lives in London.

5. headless murderer in Cleveland

Time:1933 ——1937.

This must be a very strong guy. He killed two people at the same time in every movement, and then chopped up their bodies and mixed them together, only taking their heads! So the same murder suddenly stopped at 1937.

It is likely that the murderer voluntarily went to a mental hospital (Eliot Ness, the famous police chief, was in charge of investigating the case at that time). According to analysis, the murderer may live in a house in a quiet community. He must have a car, but he may not have a wife-or be gay.
