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.

Jack The Ripper's true identity has been 'revealed' 130 years after he terrorised the women of London’s Whitechapel district.

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.

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

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.

New DNA evidence reveals the identity of Jack the Ripper as Aaron Kosminski, sparking legal action for an official inquest.

However, in a dramatic turn of events, 130 years on from his horrific crimes, the killer's identity has now been unveiled through a DNA match. Jack The Ripper was a man named Aaron Kosminski, according to The Daily Mail.

A researcher recently claimed that DNA from a shawl identifies Polish émigré Aaron Kosminski as Jack the Ripper. Not so fast, says author Sarah Bax Horton, who is descended from one of the Whitechapel investigators.
