Russell Edwards, a Ripper researcher, has utilised new facial remodelling technology to create this CGI black-and-white image of how the murderer would have looked at the time. Mr Edwards used DNA evidence from the shawl of one of the victims to "prove" that Jack the Ripper was actually Aaron Kosminski, a Jewish immigrant from Poland who was one of the main suspects during the horrific Whitechapel murders.

In his second book on the case, Mr Edwards claims not only to have identified the Ripper, but also the reason why he mutilated his victims in such a way and how he evaded justice. Jack the Ripper slaughtered and murdered at least five women in the Whitechapel area of east London across a four-month period from August to November, Three victims had internal organs removed, leading to a theory that the killer had some anatomical or surgical skills.

Police investigated the brutal killings of 11 women, mainly prostitutes, from April to February , known as the Whitechapel murders.

It is widely agreed that the third to the seventh of them, known as the Canonical Murders, were definitely carried out by the Ripper.

So how did Mr Edwards "confirm" Kosminski as the Ripper?

PC Watkins was the officer who discovered the brutally mutilated body of Catherine Eddowes, the Ripper's fourth victim, on a pavement in Mitre Square on September 30, Her head was almost severed and her nose sliced open. She was his second victim that night.
