Police Memorandum:
Re: Whitechapel Murders

Dear colleagues… I need your help!!

As most of you must now by now, Whitechapel has recently been the location for a series of gruesome murders.

The victims, five local prostitutes, have been found with their throats cut, abdominal mutilations, and sometimes with the removal of internal organs.

The unidentified killer has subsequently made himself known to the police, following the receipt of a two-part letter from someone claiming to be the murderer and calling himself “Jack the Ripper”.
Unfortunately both parts of the letter have since mysteriously gone missing.

Thankfully, following preliminary inquiries, we are now in a position to publish an “official suspects list” with respect to the murders of the five unfortunate women.

All our efforts must now be put into a thorough investigation, eliminating the innocent individuals on this list, and hopefully discover the identity of “Jack”.

May I suggest we start by visiting each of the crime scenes, and also locating the residences of those on the list?
In addition, if the whereabouts of the two-part letter can be determined, it may prove key to any future arrests.

Finally, there is also a report that our man “Jack” has written something on a wall in Goulston Street, which if true will definitely not help the current religious tensions in Whitechapel.
The graffiti needs to be verified, logged and then covered up in some way.

More information on the five murders, and also a copy of the suspects list can be found at Whitechapel Police Station.

Thank you and good luck.
