- Aaron Kosminski was found to be a 100% DNA match to Jack the Ripper
- Historian Russell Edwards made the discovery
- A descendant of Kosminski made the revelation possible
Historian Russell Edwards says he has identified Jack the Ripper as Aaron Kosminski through a DNA match of a shawl found at the scene of one of his murders.
Kosminski was a Polish immigrant who came to Whitechapel, England, in 1881 alongside his brother. He became a barber once in the British capitol.
Edwards told the “Today Show Australia” that he came to purchase the shawl in 2007 after it was purported to be at the scene of the murder of Catherine Eddowes.
Kosminski, who was aged 23 at the time of the murders, has long been considered a suspect. He had schizophrenia and was in a mental asylum at the time of his death in 1919.
This logic is baffling.
Most news outlets are owned by billionaire assholes who are very much invested in controlling what you see and think. Don’t judge the veracity of a statement based on how much the news covered it, or even people’s outrage or interest.
Think I’ll just wait until other experts corroborate these findings.
Thats fine. What you said is you were going to wait for other news outlets to corroborate these findings. Journalists aren’t experts.
