Author Claims Aaron Kosminski Was Truly Jack the Ripper

Other

Researcher Russell Edwards is claiming he has finally identified who jack the ripper was through DNA from a blood stained shawl from one of his victims

This was then matched with one of Kosminskis sisters descendants , proving he was the ripper

Kosminski was a Jewish immigrant from Poland

It was already reported in 1894 as the Macnaghten Memorandum , where it says, quote, '' detectives believed he had a great hatred of women, especially of the prostitute class, and had strong homicidal tendencies''

He ended up in a lunatic asylum

So it seems conclusive he was the killer, or does it ?

Now we only need to find out what happened to Lord Lucan !

Every author says they know who he was when in fact they don't no one will ever know who he was

Leannexxx I think DNA testing is the closest they have been to identifying him L, it is almost foolproof and getting more accurate as time goes on , the police are solving crimes from over 50 years ago now using it

telmel not really because even if they found anything from back then doesn't mean it was him could just be a random person

telmel yes but I'm saying it could be any one's dna doesn't mean it was the killer

Leannexxx That's true, even though they found his DNA on the victims shawl as it matches his family via his sisters does not mean he murdered her , maybe he just was paying for her services

The only thing pointing to him doing it could be he was known to be sadistic and homicidal, and ended up in a lunatic asylum

jms19 exactly my point fact is he got away with it and no one will actually know who it was

Lots of different authors have said that they can prove who Jack the Ripper is. I don't think they ever will. Surely the DNA would no longer be viable for testing after all that time as DNA degrades unless stored properly.

MrsCraig I am not an expert but i believe they can do this now ,especially with old blood samples , it used to only be up to a few months old and stored at low temperatures but technology is improving all the time, look what they are doing now with DNA, bringing certain extinct species back to life

telmel true, the fact that they are still trying to prove who he was after all these years is fascinating.

MrsCraig He was a sadistic killer and for that era he was an exception, not many murderers went to the extent he did, and i think that is what makes it fascinating

But when you read the news today you can see far more atrocious acts happening in our so called civilised society , some more shocking than then

In that same article it states some scientists question the DNA evidence stating it could be pretty much anyone of European descent. Interesting though, I guess he is the front runner but still doesn't feel like its conclusively this person. There are over 100 murders a year in London nowadays.
