Monday Monster: Jack the Ripper

Whitechapel, London, England (WKQ News) For the fourth time in the last two months, a prostitute working in Whitechapel became the victim of gruesome murder. The woman – identified as Maryanne Smithson – was found dead in an alley behind Durwood Street. An anonymous source from the medical examiner’s office tells WKQ News that the victim was strangled before her throat was slit. Afterward, the murderer – using the precision of a surgeon – removed the victim’s uterus. Scotland Yard is on the lookout for a surgeon or other person with medical knowledge. The murders are drawing comparisons to the Whitechapel Murders of the 1880s, performed by the infamous Jack the Ripper.
