Question What Caused JTR to Start Killing?

His motive or reason for committing the Whitechapel Murders may be unknown or suspect, but the reason JTR started killing in the first place is no less of a puzzle.

How about the combination of a considerable intellect,ego,and deviant inner psyche that needed to be manifested via the occult,which would satiate his bored Victorian bad self ?
