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.

A historian said the identity of notorious killer Jack the Ripper has been confirmed, over 136 years after the murders were committed.

The most compelling suspect in recent years is Aaron Kosminski, a Polish immigrant who lived in Whitechapel during the time of the murders.
