Cut throat razors or poison seem to be the two weapons of choice for our Victorian forebears.

As to Jack the Ripper's identity - I think he was so "ordinary" at the time that he would be quite obscure and unnoticed.

After the frenzy of the final murder of Mary Kelly, I am thinking perhaps he went completely insane and was incarcerated in an asylum. Who knows? I certainly don't hold with this "find a famous person around at the time and then manipulate the evidence to fit" school of thought.
