Who Was Jack The Ripper?
6. Aaron Kosminski
Kosminski was a Polish immigrant who worked as a barber after emigrating to the English capital in the 1800s. A gentleman going by the same surname was a suspect of police officers investigating the murders at the time. Kosminski was said to have homicidal tendencies, and also had an intense hatred of women. Nobody by the name of Kosminski was ever charged for the murders.
Aaron Kosminski himself later ended up in an asylum where he lived out the rest of his life, although he was described by the asylum as harmless. In 2014, a DNA test on a shawl was claimed to prove that Kosminski was the killer, but doubts have been voiced over the validity of the claim.
