New Forensic Study May Have Finally Identified 'Jack the Ripper' The study says the infamous murderer was
23-year-old Polish native Aaron Kominski. Kominski worked as a barber around London during the time of the killings in 1888. 'Jack the Ripper' is said to be responsible for the murders of
five women over
three months. His identity has never
been fully revealed. But now, researchers at Leeds University say they've matched DNA from a victim to one of Kominski's living descendants. The DNA comes from a
blood stain on a shawl worn
by Catherine Eddowes. Eddowes was the fourth person
killed by the Ripper, whose victims
were all sex workers. Kominski, who died in 1919, has previously
been on the list of potential suspects. Critics say there's no way to prove the shawl belonged to Eddowes, meaning the DNA is inconclusive.
