Today there is a consensus that the killer now known as "Jack the Ripper" had five victims. These five victims are often referred to as the "canonical" five.
This video reveals where the term "the canonical five" came from, before going on to explore where the idea that there were five victims came from.
The Whitechapel Murders official file, did in fact, have on it the names of eleven victims, and, as you will see, police officers and doctors who were connected with the case were actually divided over how many of these murders were actually carried out by Jack the Ripper.
Having discussed the opinions of police officers such as Assistant Commissioner Dr Robert Anderson, Chief Inspector Frederick Porter Wensley, and Walter Dew, the video reveals of the belief that there were five victims was largely due to a document written by Melville Macnaghten in February 1894.
Of course, the problem for us today, is that we are separated by more than133 years from the evidence and events of 1888, since we do not know who Jack the Ripper was, we have no real way of knowing how many victims he actually had... or, do we?
