Jack the Ripper: In his own words Chapter 5
My fifth victim was careless and led me into her own home! I was delighted and waited a while until I began to do my work.
She struggled quite a bit crying
"Murder!" A few times before I had slit her throat. This one thrilled me the most. She was a pretty one but, still a filthy nightwalker! I did her up rather well and, I must admit, that this was my finest work I had ever done! I took her face and cut it away as I did her thighs and set them on the little table. Her breasts I cut carefully away and held them for a time in my hands. Then threw them also on the small table beside the bed. It took many hours for me to do my work as I was not interupted. And I enjoyed every moment, savering every cut of the knife to her cold dead skin. I sat there for a long while admiring my work. Then walked out unseen into the darkness of the London streets.
To the reader
This was supposedly his final victim before he disappeared into history. But there were other murders that had his trademarks though some have speculated that it may have been the work of a copycat. In turn... we will never really know.
Also there was a diary found, but it was not concluded if it was a fake or in fact real.
