Historian claims to identify Jack the Ripper using DNA evidence

Historian Russell Edwards claims to have identified Jack the Ripper as Aaron Kosminski, a Polish immigrant, using DNA from a bloodstained shawl linked to one of the victims. This marks a significant development in a case unsolved for over 137 years. Edwards asserts that DNA matched with a direct descendant of one victim, confirming Kosminski's identity. He acquired the shawl in 2007 and believes an official inquest is now necessary to legally name the killer. Victims' families are urging Scotland Yard to reopen the case, while some critics question Edwards' credibility due to past controversies. Authorities have not yet decided whether to officially close the case.
