Original Note:
Russell Edwards' book is based on mtDNA tests carried out which contain 'serious DNA errors', as well as pure conjecture, resulting in the 'proof' that Kosminski was Jack the Ripper being disproved by geneticists & forensic scientists. Jack's identity remains unknown: https://www.science.org/content/article/does-new-genetic-analysis-finally-reveal-identity-jack-ripper https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1556-4029.15595 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/jack-the-ripper-id-hinges-on-a-decimal-point-as-scientists-flag-up-dna-error-in-book-that-claims-to-identify-the-whitechapel-killer-9804325.html https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/ampp3d/jack-ripper-four-reasons-dna-4182806
