The author, who claims to have identified serial killer Jack the Ripper, has called it “justice” to his victims’ families.

Russell Edwards said that DNA on a bloody shawl recovered from the body by Catherine Eddowes is an accurate match with suspected Aaron Kosminski.

He said it proves that Barber Kosminski, a Polish emigrant, is Ripper who killed at least five women in Whitechapel, East London, in 1888.

Russell, who bought the shawl at auction in 2007, has hired a legal team to fight for an inquiry on the grounds that it is new proof.

He said, “It is very difficult to put words into the arousal I felt when I saw 100 percent DNA fight.

“This brings closure and it is a form of justice for descendants.

“He cannot be prosecuted because he is dead, but it is the closest they can do.

“This man committed atrocities to their ancestors, and we know it’s him and we want the courts to say,” yes, you’re right. “

Karen Miller, 53, Catherine’s descendant, said: “We have the proof, now we need this inquiry to legally name the killer. It would mean a lot to me, for my family, to many people, to finally get this crime resolved. “

A campaign has been supported by Karen and descendants of Kosminski to get justice for the victims.

The Ripper also took the life of Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride and Mary Jane Kelly in the most abominable way and served him his creepy moniker.
