A City PC giving chase to a villain in Lolesworth Street, Spitalfields - surely not. Perhaps the fact the perps lived in Spitalfields but were notorious around Billingsgate in the City had something to do with it.

There is no proof that it is Kominskys DNA , just one in forty thousand.
If I have got this fact wrong please enlighten me.
The numbers quoted int he book, which I think you're referring to are of Eddowes DNA. Proportionally, 12 people in london in 1888 would have that match, her ancestor whose DNA they matched it with would have matched with 25 people in London today. The actual figures are not 1/40,000, or even 1/400,000 which have now both been bandied about in this thread, but actually 226/63,750,000. All figures from the book.Last edited by Poch; 09-09-2014, 04:36 PM.

There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

I like stories too, and as a work of fiction this book might do very well, but factual it is not.

Surely...
Originally posted by MrBarnett View PostIndeed, but doesn't seem to be the case here.

And, you may have noticed in another post, Metropolitan Police Orders listed all officers on special duties or working other divisions. We have all the Police Orders for the period and Amos Simpson does not appear on them.SPE

Yep that seals it for moi.
What was stated during the Cornwell DNA tests was that mitochondrial DNA could not be tied into an individual. It would match up with around 400,000 of the population and was not accurate enough for her purposes. Do we have something different here?SPE

It is a copy of the original drawing that Frederick Foster drew of Eddowes as she was found before she was taken away to the mortuary. As everyone can see, she had no shawl. No shawl was found among her belongs, neither was a shawl reported as being in the vicinity.

So why would anyone accept it?
