He was killed by a mine explosion in 1882. Between the years of 1882/83 she moved to Cardiff with her cousin, became a prostitute and became ill and nearly spent a year in infirmary.

The Murder of Mary Jane Kelly!!
Mary Jane Kelly known as ‘Black Mary’ wasn’t like the other victims.
At 25 she was young an attractive, and as a prostitute would have better served the West End clients as opposed to working the streets of the East End.
Mary was born in Limerick, Ireland a then moved to Wales were she married collier who was tragically killed in a pit disaster. After that she turned to prostitution in Cardiff. Which then led her to moving to South London were she worked in a West End brothel.
‘Fair Emma’ lodged at various abodes around Dorset Street,
London the "Wicked Quarter Mile” and it was at Millers court were she was actually brutally murdered. She was buried She was buried at Waltham stow R.C. cemetery on 19th November.
I think that this murder was horrific she was just very unlucky.

Who Was It?
Murder case
Who was it?
The mystery is still unsolved but here are some suspects that I think could have been Jack the ripper. Sir Melville Macnaghten was one of the people who tried to track down the suspect, he was a chief constable and he wrote a report about three of the people who he thought could have committed these murders. M.J Druitt was one of the suspects, he was a barrister turned teacher who committed suicide in 1888. Druitt committed suicide straight after the Kelly murder so he was one of the favourites for being Jack the ripper.
Severin klosowski poisoned girls so he was a suspect for being the killer. Aaron Kosminiski was also another suspect, he was a man that was insane and could well have been capable of commiting those murders.

This is the death certificate of M. J Druitt who was a prime suspect for being this insane man who has made such breathtaking and mysterious murders.
We still don’t know who Jack the Ripper is but I am pretty sure that one day we will find out who the real Jack the Ripper was.

Beryl's view!
The victims of Jack the Ripper was all known as prostitutes and heavy drinkers and they were all women so I think that Jack the Ripper didn’t like ladies as such. Films have been made, books have been published, newspapers have been sold....people have talked about and debated who really is responsible for these vicious and heinous crimes over 100 years ago. The truth is that we are nowhere near finding out who the culprit was than we were in 1888; perhaps we shall never know the truth. One thing is for certain though....the Jack the Ripper tale has lived for over 100 years and many newspapers/filmmakers/writers etc have made a lot of money out of the ghost of Jack the Ripper. I have saw a website that shows that the paparazzi have taken advantage of Jack the Ripper as they have made a website so you can talk to the ghost of Jack the Ripper the website is known as www.triumphpc.com/jack-the-ripper/.
Jack The Ripper's 1st Three Murders!!
Mary Ann Nichols
At around 3.40am on August 31st 1888, a carter named Charles Cross was walking along Bucks Row, and saw a bundle lying on the ground. Presuming it to be a tarpaulin, and thinking that it might prove useful, he went to look. But he stopped when he noticed that it was a woman lying on her back on the floor with her skirts pulled right up. A couple of seconds later he heard footsteps coming up behind him and he turned around and seen another man, Robert Paul. Nervously the two men approached the silent form and went down to check up on her. Her hands felt cross and they were quite cold. Meanwhile Paul was leaning over her to see if she was breathing. But when he touched her chest he felt it moved slightly. “I think she’s breathing” he told his companion, “but very little if she is.”
ANNIE CHAPMAN
"Dark Annie" met her death on a foggy night, alone, undernourished and suffering from brain and lung diseases which would soon have claimed her if Jack's Knife hadn't. Annie wandered the East End Streets penniless following the death of her husband in 1886. Cruelly treated by life, Annie had two daughters, one of which died in 1882, and a son who was crippled. Living off immoral earnings and selling matches and flowers, Annie was a street hardened rogue. She was buried in secret, at Manor Park on September 14th 1888, by her family.
ELIZABETH STRIDE "Long Liz" was born in Gothenburg, Sweden in November 1843, named Elizabeth Gustafsdotter. After becoming a registered prostitute and giving birth to a still born girl, she moved to London in 1866 and married John Thomas Strise, a carpenter, supposedly living in Gower Street, London. The Strides allegedly kept a coffee shop prior to the breakdown of their marriage in 1882. Long Liz was to have had eight convictions for drunkenness before her fatal appointment with Jack the Ripper. Elizabeth Stride was buried in a pauper’s grave in the East London cemetery aged 44 years.
