In this episode of my Jack the Ripper suspect investigations, we explore Aaron Kosminski, a prominent suspect in the case. New DNA evidence, particularly from a shawl linked to Catherine Eddowes, allegedly connects Kosminski to the murders, with a 100% match to a descendant of his. However, doubts about the shawl’s authenticity and the limitations of mitochondrial DNA have raised scepticism. We also look at the role of Russell Edwards, who purchased the shawl, and examine the psychiatric records of

In the summer of 1887, Victorian London’s East End, fraught with poverty and unrest, became the setting for a bizarre and senseless true crime. Miriam Angel, an impoverished Jewish immigrant who was six months pregnant, was found poisoned in a locked room, her body lying on the bed. Incredibly, a fellow tenant in the same lodging house, Israel Lipski, was discovered hiding beneath it. The case, with its puzzling lack of motive, divided the public.
