Chris, We have known each other for a while now, and I had no idea you were Australian!

Well, no surprise here really. Looks like there was a major error made in the DNA probability calculations. Basically, it claims he misidentified a mutation as 314.1C rather than 315.1C, which was the basis for the identification with Eddowes, and rather than being rare it turns out to be shared by 99% of people of European descent.

Anyway, here's a link to the article. I realize people here probably already know this as the article points out that the error was first noted by some Australian researchers posting here on casebook!

Yeah but if Aussies spotted it, it could be all upside down!
