We might finally know the identity of the notorious killer, Jack the Ripper, and we might even have a DNA result for reference. Over 130 years after his gruesome murders in East London, England, the descendants of his victims are looking to unmask the identity of the serial killer popularly known as Jack the Ripper.

The reason the failure to capture Jack the Ripper when he was terrorising the streets of Whitechapel in the 19th century, has been revealed. It looks like the identity of the infamous serial killer has been 'revealed' after a '100% DNA match', that is, if we are to believe 'ripperologist' Russell Edwards.

An author insists her conclusion about the identity of Jack the Ripper is more reliable than a new DNA-based theory pointing to another suspect. Historian Russell Edwards recently made waves by suggesting London’s notorious serial killer was a Polish barber named Aaron Kosminski.

The infamous killer who terrorized London women has largely been referred to as simply “Jack the Ripper” until now. Historian Russell Edwards says he has identified Jack the Ripper as Aaron Kosminski through a DNA match of a shawl found at the scene of one of his murders.

The notorious Victorian era serial killer Jack the Ripper's identity may have been discovered after 130 years due to new DNA evidence
