Seweryn Kłosowski (14 December 1865 – 7 April 1903), also using the name Ludwig Schloski, was a Polish serial killer living in London in 1888.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Kłosowski emigrated to the United Kingdom at some point between 1887 and 1888, settling in Whitechapel shortly before the Whitechapel murders started.[1]
Seweryn poisoned three of his wives, which led to him being known as "the borough poisoner." Residing in Whitechapel, where he also worked as a barber under a false name, Kłosowski became a suspect in the investigation the Metropolitan Police Service was conducting into the Whitechapel murders.[1]
Fearing for his safety, Inspector Frederick Abberline tasked the Assassin Evie Frye, who had recently returned from India, with safely bringing Kłosowski in for questioning.[1]
