Jack The Rippers Identity Finally Discovered - It took 126 years of speculation, accusations, and intrigue to finally determine the true identity of the infamous “Jack The Ripper”. One of the six prime suspects at the time of the murders has been proven by advanced DNA analysis to be the legendary killer. Cutting edge DNA analysis of a shawl found by the body of Catherine Eddowes, one of the Ripper’s victims, has been analysed and found to contain DNA from her blood as well as DNA (semen) from the killer. It all started when businessman Russell Edwards, 48, bought the shawl at auction and gathered the help of Dr Jari Louhelainen, a expert in analysing genetic evidence. Dr Louhelainen was able to extract 126-year-old DNA from the material and compare it to DNA from descendants of Eddowes and the suspect, with both proving a statistically perfect match. The long line of men believed to be Jack the Ripper include, Aaron Kosminski, Prince Albert Victor, Edward VII’s son, Sir William Gull, Queen Victoria’s doctor, painter Walter Sickert, a Jewish shoemaker, a polish barber who later poisoned three women. The identity of “Jack The Ripper” turned out to be polish immigrant Aaron Kosminski . Kosminski was an insane Polish Jew who was a suspect in the Jack the Ripper murders. He emigrated to England from Poland in the 1880s and worked as a hairdresser in Whitechapel in theEast End of London, where the murders were committed in 1888. From 1891, he was institutionalized in an asylum.
