Convict. He was born in Koło, Poland but failed to obtain a surgical degree in Poland. He arrived in England in 1888. He was employed as a barber's assistant in London's East End. He married fellow Polish immigrant, Lucy Baderski, and his wife from Poland immigrated to London too. He and Lucy immigrated to America where Lucy remained. He returned to England in 1892 and lived with Annie Chapman. He adopted her name of Chapman. He left her and moved in with Mrs. Mary Spink. He set a barber shop in Hastings, London. She played the piano while he cut hair. Six months later, they were managing the Prince of Wales Public House off City Road in London. His first murder victim, Mary died in late 1897 from consumption. She was buried in a common grave. His second murder victim, Bessie Taylor took over her duties at the bar and in George's bedroom. She died in February 1899. Third murder victim, Maud Marsh worked at Monument's Public House and in George's bed. They took over the Crown Public House. She died from poisoning on October 22, 1902. He was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to death on April 7, 1903. He was hanged at Wandsworth Prison for the murder of Maud Marsh. He was suspected of being Jack the Ripper but it was probably impossible theory. It's believed that Klosowski (Chapman) was buried on the prison grounds which was customary for the executed at the time.
