According to investigation published in the diary “Journal of Forensic Sciences”, the perpetrator of violent crimes from 19th century England, celebrated “Kuba Ripper”, was Aaron Kośmiński, a hebrew from Poland.
Jack the Ripper was Jewish? More than 130 years have passed since a series of violent crimes that have shaken Victorian England, and the mystery surrounding the character of the "Cuba the Ripper" continues. Throughout this time, different investigators have sought to identify the killer who killed and mutilated at least 5 prostitutes in London in 1888. Now, with a breakthrough DNA analysis, this question may have an answer.
According to a survey published in Journal of Forensic Sciences, the perpetrator of violent crimes was Aaron Kośmiński, a hebrew who came to the capital of large Britain to devote himself to the career of a hairdresser. Interestingly, at the time of the crime he was on the list of suspected London Metropolitan Police. However, the officers were never able to clearly identify him as a murderer, even though they held him for 2 years. There was no evidence, and the curious organization himself did not plead guilty.
In 1891, Kośmiński appeared in business notes, investigating Melvill Macnaghten and comments on copies of Robert Anderson's memoirs, by Donald Swanson. Anderson himself claimed that “The Ripper” was identified as a Jew, nevertheless possible witnesses – Jews from the synagogue to which he attended, they collectively refused to attest without wanting to burden his fellow tribe member.Recently, researchers Jari Louhelainen and David Miller conducted the analysis Mitochondrial DNA extracted from blood stains and semen found on the scarf lying next to Catherine Eddowes' body, the 4th execution victim. The authors of the survey guarantee that the scarf – made of silk and decorated with a floral pattern – belonged to “Kuba the Ripper”, not to his victim, a female with low incomes who could not afford it.
Results. DNA is from the same group as the genetic code of the surviving comparative of Kośminski. In addition, the seed must have belonged to a man with brown eyes and hair, which is simply a description of a suspected Jew.Aaron Kośminski uHe was born in Kłodawa, Poland, in a household of Hasidic Jews. He arrived in London in 1882 with 3 brothers and settled down at Greenfield Street, little than 200 metres from where Elizabeth Stride's body was found, the 3rd of the victims of the “Kuba the Ripper”. At the time of the murders, he was 23. After leaving jail, he suffered from schizophrenia and was admitted to a psychiatric facility where he died at the age of 53. Interestingly, he had anxiety attacks caused by the imagination that he supposedly wanted to eat him.
The crimes of “The Jack of the Ripper” occurred in London's Whitechapel district. Between August 31 and November 9, 1888, the bodies of 5 prostitutes were found. The victims had akin features: cut throats, mutilated genitals and abdomen, and disfigured faces. Later, akin crimes occurred, which were readily attributed to “the Ripper”, but it is not certain that they were his author. During the investigation, police received 3 letters allegedly from a killer in which he mocked officers and promised more crimes. 1 of the letters was signed by “Kuba Ripper” and that's where the perpetrator's alias came from.
Topics of the activities of the celebrated killer have become a waste for many novels and crime films.
