Jack the Ripper solved? DNA on a shawl points to a Polish 19th-century immigrant; experts say it can’t be

Russell Edwards says it proves Polish immigrant Aaron Kosminski was the killer, but forensic experts dismiss the evidence as weak, contaminated and statistically meaningless. More than a century on, the Ripper remains unsolved, fuelled by speculation rather than certainty.
