Hi there!

Today, we tried to answer this question about Jack the Ripper's case:

Why was this case difficult for the police? 

1- The victims had* no family so nobody would call the police, nobody cared.  

2- The crimes happened in the street at night so there were* no witnesses.  

3- The streets were dirty, there was no sanitation and there was a lot of smoke so there was no evidence.  

4- The victims were all female prostitutes and they were drunk so they couldn’t defend themselves.   

5- The neighbourhood was over crowded so one couldn’t hear the victims if they screamed and there were lots of suspects.   

Cause and consequence 

He killed them SO he’s going to prison. 

He’s going to prison BECAUSE he killed them.
