Rather than applaud the chap for finding out who Jack the Ripper was, why aren't they arresting him for dealing in stolen goods and tampering with crime evidence?

don't give them ideas, plod might well do that.

Its genius work by the guy, buy the only physical evidence, publish a story and deny anyone else a chance to counter prove it

Bloody East Europeans coming over here and nicking our serial killers' jobs.

when it gets to the Times will you concede?

he does of course have a book out!

Concede over a story in a Murdoch rag? Hardly

The provenance of the shawl, on which the whole thing is predicated, is a bit dodgy by all accounts.

It's a story in the Mail, which means it's horsetulip; so, no.

public investigate their own crimes

this bloke has taken it a bit far:

Jack the Ripper unmasked: How amateur sleuth used DNA breakthrough to identify Britain's most notorious criminal 126 years after string of terrible murders | Mail Online

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Jack the Ripper unmasked: How amateur sleuth used DNA breakthrough to identify Britain's most notorious criminal 126 years after string of terrible murders
DNA evidence on a shawl found at Ripper murder scene nails killer
By testing descendants of victim and suspect, identifications were made
Jack the Ripper has been identified as Polish-born Aaron Kosminski
Kosminski was a suspect when the Ripper murders took place in 1888
Hairdresser Kosminski lived in Whitechapel and was later put in an asylum

seems a bit odd to have a 'culprit'. will the Ripper case be closed?
