The man who caused chaos in London’s Whitechapel district in 1888, Jack the Ripper, has recently been publicly identified. Finally after all this time Edward Stow, the historical writer and the most active member of the Ripper identification, has DNA evidence that has recently been generated showing that the killer is the Polish born Aaron Kosminski.
In a report mentioned in the police records, a name Kosminski, who is a 23 year old man and a barber at the time when the murders occurred, is stated as one of the suspects but not the arrested. Kosminski is one of the earliest suspects.
According to Stow, Kosminski is the subject of DNA testing on a blood-stained shawl that was found at one of the crime scenes and that the evidence is “100 percent certain” after the DNA analysis.

These results echo those of previous authorities in similar research fields, for example, a 2019 study that was able to track down Kosminski’s mitochondrial DNA from the crime scenes to him. There are those that believe such evidence is not sufficient given that the effects of time on historical items might give way to the misuse of the data.
On the one hand, Stow’s findings almost mark the end of an age-old dispute about the world’s number one unsolved murder of all time? There are still many who do not believe what Even though, there are some professionals that this may be the main evidence so far that the real perpetrator was, say, Jack the Ripper.
