New DNA evidence
has surfaced leading many officials to believe that the infamous serial killer,
Jack the Ripper’s true identity has been discovered. A blood –stained shawl
bought at an auction in 2007 from one of the killers victims held DNA evidence
that linked it to the Ripper. A university lecturer at Liverpool John Moore’s,
Dr. Jari Louhenhelainen was the doctor to extract the DNA from the shawl.
The DNA matched
Polish migrant Aaron Kosminski, who was an original suspect of the crimes in
1888. Kosminski lived in Whitechapel, where the murders took place in 1888 and
was later committed to an asylum in 1891.
The shawl, which
held the DNA originally belonging to the Ripper’s victim, Catherine Eddowes,
was purchased by Russell Edwards. Edwards wrote the book “Naming Jack the Ripper” which gives the details of his beliefs that
Kominski is definitely the Ripper’s true identity. The scientific analysis of
the shawl lasted three years before the authenticity of the shawl and the
killer were confirmed.
If officials prove
conclusively DNA is a true match, Jack
the Ripper will be brought to justice for the murder of 5 women in Whitechapel
in 1888.
