They claim to have discovered Jack's true identity "The Ripper"

In 1888, Whitechapel, a London neighborhood, lived in fear of a series of crimes revealed to Scotland Yard. The victims, all women, have been mutilated, raped and disfigured. Until a few days ago, there was little indication who could be behind brutal deaths. But now, a medico-legal study ensured to have discovered the identity of the badbadin, known around the world as Jack the Ripper ".

The results of the research published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences They determined that 23-year-old Polish barber Aaron Kosminski was Jack "The Ripper". The study came to this conclusion for having made a complex badysis of DNA which was related to the suspects who were under the eyes of the police at the time.

Scientists badyzed a garment from one of the murdered women in September 1888, Catherine Eddowes, the fourth victim. According to the report, in the shawl of the girl There were traces of blood and sperm. In studying the genetic material, it was found that there was compatibility with the DNA of Kosminski's relatives.

"It was possible to identify in the body cells compatible with the presence of seminal fluid in the shawl and this allowed us to match the DNA with the descendants of one of the main suspects, "explains part of the report published by Jari Louhelainen and David Miller.

This is not the first time that there is an indication that the Pole is designated as the murderer. In 2014, Russell Edwards published a book titled "Appointment of Jack the Ripper" where Kosminski was pointed out according to a study conducted in 2007, but that This was not official. "This is the most advanced study that has been recorded on this case so far," added the scientists, in his summary of the paper.

Beyond what has been published, there are scientists who doubt the scientific certainty of the type of research done. According to Hansi Weissensteiner, expert in genetic badysis, told the magazine Science, "The DNA of the shawl could have been from Kosminski but it could have been thousands of people who lived in London at that time. "

There are five deaths attributed to Jack "The Ripper". Everything happened in a few months and in the same circumstances. The victims were women of the same age as the prostitutes: Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly.

It is thought that there could be other similar murders later, but the different shapes and styles from the first. The case had unprecedented journalistic coverage of British newspapers at the time. He has also generated literary works, plays and films throughout history.
