Barrister – Dr Tim Sampson… 5th October 2024
‘Had the newly available DNA analysis of blood and semen samples obtained from a shawl known to have been found at the scene of the killing of Catherine Eddowes, on the night of the 29th September 1888, which now positively links a Mr Aaron Kosminski to that killing, been available to the police at that time it would have been justifiable for the Coroner to charge and then seek to have Mr Aaron Kosminski prosecuted for both the murder of Ms Eddowes and the other four known victims of the so-called ‘Ripper’ murders that occurred in London in late 1888.’
