  • 1890 Whitechapel murders

    Were there any murders in Whitechapel / East End that went unsolved in 1890? It is odd that there was such a vast amount of murders in the East End in 1888 and 1889 and then they seemingly stop in 1890 only to be resumed in 1891. I have been unable to find any murders for 1890 in the East End. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks

    Adam
    Best regards,

    That's because Jack the ripper was locked up from 1889 to 1891.

        Could be, Trevor.
        I wonder how many of the suspects (real or imagined) weren't around in 1890 for one reason or another?

          Well Debs you can rule out Tumblety Druitt and Kosminski for starters that reduces the suspect list drastically

          If Coles or Mckenzie were Ripper victims it rules them out altogether

            Even without the later murders, some of which I think Jack committed, I would easily rule out those three

            Debs, it is very possible he was locked up during the gap between the last 1889 murder up until the Coles murder. Perhaps we should be looking at men who were locked up during this time.....

                  The article below gives details of a scare towards the end of 1890 and the resultant police activity
