Murderer

The Resume

    Killed at least five prostitutes by cutting their throats, then mutilated their bodies.

Why he might be annoying:

    Nobody knows his identity.
    More than 100 books have been penned on the subject, mostly conjectures on his identity.
    He may have been a medically trained man, as the victims were often cut in the manner of an expert.
    His name comes from a series of letters received by the police signed 'Jack Ripper.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was left handed.
    All of the victims were prostitutes.
    Failure to catch The Ripper led to the London police commissioner's resignation.
