1888 - London Murders in the Year of the Ripper - presented by Peter Stubley

In 1888 Jack the Ripper made headlines with a series of horrific murders that remain unsolved to this day. But most killers are not shadowy figures stalking the streets with a lust for blood, many are ordinary citizens driven to the ultimate crime by circumstance, a fit of anger or a desire for revenge. Their crimes, overshadowed by the few sensational cases, are ignored, forgotten or written off. 1888: London Murders in the Year of the Ripper examines all the known murders of this notorious year in London’s history, helping to build a picture of society and bringing to light the many forgotten murders that were overshadowed by The Ripper’s killing spree. (Peter will also be signing his book '1888 - London Murders in the Year of the Ripper' at this meeting). December 1st 2012 - London, UK
