Forensics expert Dr Jari Louhelainen was able to extract 126-year-old DNA from a shawl found by the body of Catherine Eddowes, one of the Ripper’s victims.
The shawl, bought at auction by businessman Russell Edwards in 2007, was found to contain DNA from her blood as well as DNA from the killer.
...
So began the three year scientific analysis of the shawl and the search for the descendants of Catherine Eddowes and Kosminski. In the end, it was DNA coding that confirmed the authenticity of the shawl and the identity of the killer.
