In this video we take a look at the events that followed the death of Mary Jane Kelly, on Friday the 9th of November, 1888.
You will hear about the horrific moment when the police went into her tiny room to be confronted with a sight of unimaginable horror.
You will watch as the body was taken away from the scene of the crime to the mortuary that was located in the churchyard of St Leonard's Church in Shoreditch.
You will see the venue where the inquest into her death was held, and learn how the Coroner, in this case, wanted a quick inquest that was over in one sitting.
The video will then look at the preparations that were made for her funeral, when the sexton of the church agreed to cover the total cost.
We will then reveal how a lady came to the sexton's house with a bizarre request to purchase a lock of Mary Kelly's hair. Why did she want it? Al will be revealed in the video.
We then turn our attention to the day of the funeral, when an enormous crowd turned up at the church to see the coffin be removed from the mortuary, and to watch as they cortege set of for the cemetery.
You will then see the approximate site of Mary Kelly's grave, and learn how the grave was reused in the 1940s.
The video finishes with the revelation that, in recent years, several people have looked into the feasibility of exhuming Mary Kelly's body, including the crime writer, Patricia Cornwell.
