Russell Edwards，an expert in molecular biology ，claims Aaron Kosminski, a 23 year-old Polish immigrant who ended up dying in an asylum , was "definitely, categorically and absolutely" the man behind the grisly killing spree in 1888 in London's East End.
分子生物學專家拉塞爾•愛德華茲，稱終死於避難所的23歲波蘭移民亞倫•柯斯米斯基(Aaron Kosminski)是1888年倫敦東區殘忍殺戮案的幕後真兇。
Mr Edwards said a blood-stained shawl found by the body of Catherine Eddowes who was one of the Ripper's victims he bought in 2007 after an auction in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, held vital DNA evidence which led him to the killer. He used pioneering techniques to find DNA from her blood and that of the killer.
愛德華茲先生說，他在2007年一個拍賣會上買下了其中一名受害者凱瑟琳(Catherine Eddowes)的一條血跡斑斑的披肩，通過使用高科技採集相關樣本、比對出可信度極高的DNA證據，從而使兇手得到確認。
