On this day, Sept. 30, in 1888, in London, Jack the Ripper killed his third and fourth victims, Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes, in what has become known as the “double event.”
Stride, nicknamed “Long Liz,” was discovered dead about 1 a.m. in the Whitechapel district. A single clear-cut incision severed the main artery of her neck.
