Mauaji ya Hammersmith

Mauaji ya Hammersmith ni mfululizo wa mauaji sita yaliyotokea Magharibi mwa London, Uingereza, mnamo 1964 na 1965.^[1] Waathiriwa, ambao wote walikuwa makahaba, walikutwa wakiwa wamevuliwa nguo katika au karibu na Mto Thames, na kusababisha vyombo vya habari kumpachika jina muuaji huyo kama Jack the Stripper ^[2][3](rejeleo kwa Jack the Ripper).

Mauaji mawili ya awali, yaliyotendwa Magharibi mwa London mnamo 1959 na 1963, pia yamehusishwa na baadhi ya wachunguzi na mtenda uhalifu huyo huyo.

Licha ya "nia kubwa ya vyombo vya habari na moja ya msako mkubwa zaidi katika historia ya Scotland Yard," kesi hii haijatatuliwa. Ushahidi wa kielelezo uliokusanywa wakati huo unaaminika kuwa umeharibiwa au kupotea.^[4]
