There is one big problem with naming this man as the Ripper

In a tv programme some years ago about architecture, they were looking at one of the asylums in North London which is now flats.

They found at the local archives all the records and amongst them they were shocked to see a name they recognised, yes Mr. Kominsky.  He was in this asylum at the time of at least 2 of the Ripper murders.

Fleming (Bristol) Fowler/Brain (Battersea/Bristol)    Simpson (Fulham/Clapham)  Harrison (W.London, Fulham, Clapham)  Earl & Butler  (Dublin,New Ross: Ireland)  Humphrey (All over mainly London) Hill (Reigate, Bletchingly, Redhill: Surrey)
Sell (Herts/Essex/W. London)

wow wow hang 5 there for a start you can't access a dead person's records untill a century after their dead meaning it wouldn't be possible to view such a record yet as we arent 2019 yet also wikipedia & no other site including the famous casebook say anything about Aaron kosminski being in a asslyum during the murders, bearing in mind by this time he had been in england 6 years or so years & hadn't tried to stab his sister until 1890/1891, how can you lot be sure it isn't ie a brother, uncle & not Aaron, not even the lad who brought the shawl to light said a word about kosminski being in a asslyum during at least two murders, regardless he is the killer of catherine eddowes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_the_Ripper_suspects this is a wikipedia page on known suspects pls note how it clearly says kosminski enter a asslyum -Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum in 1891 not 1888, this is clear proof he was more than possible of carrying out all five murders

I don't understand how the dna has emerged when it was said none existed originally.

Very good but that is a recent rule brought in by the PC brigade.
Until relatively recently many records now closed or even destroyed were open to public access.

I even have a database of Australian records that have now been closed to public access which was readily available when I got my copy

hi guy yes in theroy viewing a record shouldn't have been possible even with TNA  (the national archives (uk) ) any ripper related items are hard to gain public access to unless you are ie a celeb or doing it for a doco, also many ripper related books tell few details regarding kosminski & at best are very limited, theres no doubt it was him, also wikipedia (see previous post) states a timeline of his life, which states in around 1891 we went downhill, i think when he trying stabbing betsy his sister, all adds up tho, the said shawl matches up with a article of underclothing found on miss eddowes & a google images search of it finds a pattern very silimar to that on the said shawl

Yes it is so sad looking at the damage/harm that the PC brigade have foisted upon us.
I loved a lot of those British comedies and one in particular was
the two Ronnies sketch enititled 'That Far Canal'  ...... absolutely harmless but you cannot find it now ..... wiped off the map and there must be thousands more which are very similar.

Regardless of who committed the murders, the more important person to trace in an asylum is the prostitute known by all the victims (whose name escapes me). She was looked after briefly by none other than Walter Sickert, especially after she had fallen pregnant.

Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.
