Macabre London Jack the Ripper’s Final Victim & the Secret Telegram That Transformed London
In this episode of Macabre London, we step into the foggy streets of Whitechapel in 1888 to uncover the brutal murder of Mary Jane Kelly – the last known victim of Jack the Ripper. We’ll follow the police investigation as it reached its breaking point, examine the key suspects who haunted the inquiry, and reveal how a shocking telegram from Queen Victoria forced the government to finally take notice of London’s slums.
Was this the moment the Ripper was closest to being caught? And how did Mary Jane Kelly’s death end up changing life in the East End forever? Join me as we dig into one of history’s darkest crimes and the social reforms it accidentally sparked.
