According to English historian and author Russell Edwards, the murderer was a 23 -year -old Polish immigrant named Aaron Kosminski.

Jack The Ripper murdered five women between 1888 and 1891.

Jack The Ripper, one of the most notorious serial killers in history, terrified the streets of the East End of Victorian London at the end of the 19th century. Despite the passage of decades, its true identity remained a mystery. However, English historian and author Russell Edwards claims to have finally resolved the puzzle, since he revealed the identity of the murderer almost after 140 years. According to Edwards, the murderer was a 23 -year -old Polish immigrant named Aaron Kosminski.

This discovery came after the DNA test was held in a chal recovered from the scene of one of the murders.

“When we combine the Blood on the Shawl DNA with a direct descendant of the victim, it was the most surprising moment of my life at that time,” Edwards said in an interview with Today in Australia.

“We tried the semen that remained in the chal. When we agreed with that, I was stunned that we had really discovered who Jack really was the ranpler, “he continued.

The murderer’s uproar took place between 1888 and 1891 during which he brutally murdered five women (most of them sex workers). However, historians suspect that the death toll was greater than five. These women were: Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly. Three of the victims were removed their internal organs.

The chal was found at the Eddowes murder scene. After learning, Edwards acquired it in 2007.

“It was a discovery trip, with many turns and turns. The adventure was exciting from beginning to end and I was lucky to experience it, “Edwards said.

Aaron Kosminski, who had moved to England as a child, worked as a barber in Whitechapel. He began to show symptoms of mental illness in 1885 and had committed to several crazy asylums. Edwards explained that Kosminski suffered auditory hallucinations. He was also terrified by other people, he refused to eat and even avoided bathing. Kosminski died in 1919 at the age of 53.

“We have the test, now we need this investigation to legally appoint the murderer,” Edwards said.

However, some online critics have raised doubts about Edwards’s findings claiming that pretending the discovery of the upper part of a child in 2022. This led to a renewed police search for Keith Bennett’s body, one of the victims of The infamous murders of the Moors. The murders, carried out by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley between 1963 and 1965, involved the murders of five children in Manchester. Keith Bennett’s body is still the only one that has never been found.
