Aaron Kosminski

Aaron Kosminski is one of the most commonly cited suspects in the unsolved Jack the Ripper murders. These murders, which took place in London's Whitechapel district in 1888, involved at least five victims. The killer was known for cutting the victims' throats and often mutilating their bodies, sometimes with knowledge of human anatomy. Despite extensive efforts, the killer was never identified. Kosminski, a Polish immigrant living in Whitechapel, was known to have a strong dislike for women, particularly prostitutes, and was hospitalized in an asylum shortly after the last murder. Other suspects include Montague Druitt and Michael Ostrog.12
