One for the Ripperologists. Who do you think Jack the Ripper was?
According to DNA evidence from a shawl found at the crime scene of Catherine Eddowes, one of the victims of Jack the Ripper, Aaron Kosminski was Jack the Ripper. The shawl was said to have been to expensive for Catherine Eddowes to have owned and possibly belonged to Jack the Ripper. Scientists have matched the DNA samples from the blood on the shawl to Aaron Kosminski, a Polish Jewish Immigrant who was one of the suspects in the Whitechapel murders. It’s possible, though that the shawl was contaminated or that it didn’t even belong to Jack the Ripper, but it was found at the scene of the crime.
