- 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.
The original source is author and researcher Russell Edwards who claims to have sufficient evidence.
And Weekly World News consistently ran stories about Bat Boy, that doesn’t mean Bat Boy exists.
The article says the source is Russell Edwards, go look into his research if you want to know more about the claim and refute it, stop relying on the name of the news outlet.
Dude is an author so obviously he has reason to want this to make the news, you aren’t wrong for not believing either of them, but it doesn’t stop at the name of the website
But Bat Boy does exist
