Vital DNA evidence has finally uncovered the identity of notorious serial killer Jack the Ripper.
The man behind the grisly killing spree in London’s East End has been unveiled as Aaron Kosminkski, a 23-year-old Polish immigrant who ended up dying in an asylum.
A blood soaked shawl, purchased by author Russell Edwards, led to the breakthrough when a scientist matched DNA evidence left on it to descendants of Kosminski.
Mr Edwards, 48, from Barnet, north London, was "captivated" by the murder mystery and had been investigating it in his spare time, but had come to the conclusion it could never be solved.
But then in 2007 he saw a shawl found by the body of Catherine Eddowes, one of the Ripper's victims, was up for sale.
He said the shawl had been taken by acting Sergeant Amos Simpson, who was on duty the night of Eddowes's death and wanted it for his wife.
But horrified at the blood-soaked wrap, she never wore it, and it was stored away and passed down through the generations until it came to auction seven years ago.

Interesting! If true, this is fascinating!
If True
Somehow ‘Aaron the Ripper’ just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Those damned Polish plumbers!
Yes truely fascinating indeed.
That would explain the cryptic message in blood left in the vicinity the last victim - ‘the jews are the ones who will not be blamed for nothing’ or something like that.
Well, there’s an item to be checked off the bucket list.
What’s next?
King Richard has been found and replanted.
How about the location of the Lost Dutchman mine?
George the Ripper, and Fred the Ripper just does not have the same ring to it..... neither does Wade the Ripper.
Richard the Ripper!!!
Does not approve.
Catherine Eddowes was a known prostitute. The DNA was not blood evidence, but was semen which had been deposited on the shawl. I think it merely proves that Kosminkski frequented prostitutes. As I understand it, the DNA results have not been submitted for peer review in any event.
I saw a show about the mine. It seems that bad things happen to people who try to go in it.
What is really interesting is both Bill Clinton and Harry Reid are direct descendants
Barrack the ripper is capable of damage on an astounding scale.

And some rum and Coke (the drinkable kind). After all popcorn is salty and needs some liquid along with it.
