FYI if the information is correct, it only solves one of the crimes, and as historians disagree over which are and are not "Ripper murders" it may be the only murder that the polish hairdresser committed.
OR, and this is the more likely scenario, the polish hairdresser paid Ms Eddowes for sex, ejaculated all over her shawl and went away. Then later, and perhaps this was on another day even, the Ripper came and killed Ms Eddowes.
Case solved my ass.
Actually it's still only circumstantial. The semen (Kosminski) and the blood (Eddowes) were on the shawl, there is no proof the shawl was at the murder scene or that Kosminski committed the murder. Eddowes could have been with Kosminski before she was killed by someone else.
What I find incredibly sad about all of this is the fact at least five women lost their lives to this serial killer and yet it is 'Jack the Ripper' that gets all the attention. These seems to me to be something wrong with this picture.
It is almost impossible for there to be proof 'beyond reasonable doubt' so long after the facts.
