According to a new book, Saucy Jacky was in fact Aaron Kosminski, according to DNA found on a shawl matched with that of his descendants.

Complete bollocks, of course. Aside from his never being anything close to a convincing suspect (only McNaughten thought so), the provenence of the shawl is highly questionable and they used mitochondrial DNA, which narrows it down to one in 400,000 as opposed one in a billion by other method.

I have been dubbed Mr. Pet Sounds and Mr. Country Love by polite and honored board member Smile Brian. I hope I live up to those esteemed titles.
