London's mysterious 'Jack the Ripper' serial killer might finally be identified through DNA left behind at the scene of one of the crimes, new report says.

In a disturbing attack, Eddowes' uterus and left kidney were cut out.

Louhelainen and Miller said the data shows the shawl has biological material from Eddowes "and that the mtDNA sequences obtained from semen stains match the sequences of one of the main police suspects, Aaron Kosminski.

The issue I have with this is that Eddows was known to be a prostitute and the DNA could've come from a customer and not necessarily the killer.

So let’s get this right. They’ve recovered DNA from semen found on the shawl of a prostitute, and think THAT is conclusive proof of who Jack the Ripper was?

No one has ever thought of doing this until now? We’ve been using DNA evidence for over 30 years.

I bet it was Michael Jackson😂

Don’t report this until they’ve apprehended him. He poses a flight risk.
