He was a serial killer who had lived in Whitechapel in 1888, and his extensive medical training meant he had the anatomical skill to remove organs. But could Polish “barber-surgeon” George Chapman (Severin Klosowski) have been the infamous Jack the Ripper?

Chapman’s victims were all women and his actions before and afterwards suggested he had utter contempt for the law and the possibility of capture. In “Serial Killer Who Police Thought Was Jack The Ripper” this issue, we consider the evidence for this curious womanising women-hater. Whether or not he was Jack, he would pay the ultimate price for his known crimes...

Investigators in Frankfurt are largely convinced that a string of unsolved killings from the 70s to the 2000s were the work of jazz-playing family man and murderous mutilator Manfred Seel. Unlike Chapman all those years earlier, Seel, who kept the mutilated remains of a victim in a rented garage, led the perfect double-life. Read “Was This Frankfurt’s Jack The Ripper?” for the full story.

Finally to Australia and “Six Victims For The ‘Messiah Of Melbourne’”. Behind the wheel of a car “Jimmy” Gargasoulas felt like God and took his twisted vengeance upon six innocents who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
