After a century of unsolved crimes by the famous Jack the Ripper, author Russell Edwards has finally named who exactly Jack is. Thanks to the latest DNA technology and a shawl that led Edwards to the DNA evidence, everyone can now know who Jack the Ripper is.
By Tuesday, Russell Edwards is set to debut his book "Naming Jack the Ripper" that proves Aaron Kiminski is Jack the Ripper. Kiminiski is one out of the six suspects in countless investigations done over the years. Five other suspects included Walter Sickert an artist, Sir William Gull a surgeon, The Duke of Clarence, John Pizer a shoemaker and George Chapman a barber.
Finally, after 126 years, Aaron Kiminiski has been proven as the man behind the murders that took place at London's East End in the year 1888. He was responsible for the death of at least five women at Whitechapel. According to reports, Aaron Kiminiski was a Polish Jew hairdresser who flew to London in the early 1800's. Additional information state Kiminiski was admitted into a lunatic asylum where he died of gangrene in his leg in the year 1899.
The DNA evidence found in the shawl was owned by one of the victims, Catherine Eddowes. This was initially purchased by Russell Edwards at an auction in 2007 at Bury St. Edmunds. Enlisting the help of Dr. Jari Louhelainen, a molecular biology expert, Edwards found incriminating evidence pointing to Kiminiski in the item.
"We have definitively solved the mystery of who Jack the Ripper was. Only non-believers that want to perpetuate the myth will doubt. This is it now - we have unmasked him," said Edwards exclusively to The Mirror.
Tests done by Russell Edwards and Dr. Jari Louhelainen are yet to be independently certified. However, Dr. Louhelainen had devoted three years into analysing details in the shawl making him confident in the results. As for Edwards, he had devoted fourteen years into the case.
