Jack the Ripper is arguably the most famous serial killer in British history and the mystery surrounding his identity endures. In this video though Kevin Hicks' focus is on the Ripper's victims, their lives, their deaths, the poverty in 19th Century London, and how they died for the want of just fourpence. It's broadly agreed by historians the Ripper killed five women during his reign of terror during the autumn of 1888, although it's been argued there may have been more, we've concentrated on what's known as the canonical five.
