Scientists Say Proof Of Jack The Ripper's Identity Is Fatally Flawed

Who was Jack the Ripper? 

Last month the author of a new book entitled Naming Jack The Ripper said he had irrefutable evidence that the notorious serial killer who terrorized London in the late 1880s was a Polish émigré named Aaron Kosminski.

The author, Russell Edwards, went so far as to say that "only non-believers that want to perpetuate the myth will doubt his contention."

Doubt, however, is exactly what's surrounding Edwards’ claim, which has been called into question by a scathing follow-up report published this week by The Independent.
