March 19, 2019

According to the group of experts, it was "the most advanced and systematic genetic badysis used to date" to recognize the serial killer who terrorized London in the late nineteenth century .

A group of experts in forensic sciences revealed Unpublished details on the identity of Jack the Ripper, the serial killer who terrorized London in the late 19th century.

This is an unprecedented genetic study, and has been described as "The most advanced and systematic genetic badysis used to date". Jack murdered five prostitutes and left the bodies of their victims on the street.

Last Tuesday, the studies were published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences and suggest that the crimes were committed by a Polish Jew called Aaron Kosminski

This was discovered thanks to Mitochondrial DNA extracts blood and sperm stains from clothing found next to Catherine Eddowes' body, fourth victim of the murderer, in 1888.

They captured images of "the door of hell" and are shocking

Although the Kosminski name was already mentioned in 2014, it is the first publication of these details in a scientific journal. This Polish immigrant was born in the city of Klodawa, then belonging to the Russian Empire.

He sits next to two brothers and a sister in Greenfield Street, London, less than 200 meters from where Elizabeth Stride's body (another victim of Jack the Ripper) has been found. In addition, the researchers pointed out that he was 23 when the murders took placeand who was suffering from schizophrenia. After being admitted to a psychiatric center, he died at age 53.

Unusual: they auctioned a pigeon traveler for a million dollar money

However, this publication has aroused much criticism from other scientists: forensic investigator Walther Parson, for example, questioned the work for not detailing none of the DNA sequences in which he claims to be based.

Hansi Weissensteiner also pointed out that the badysis of mitochondrial DNA can only be reliable for rule out kinship between two people and exclude a suspect.
