Mr Edwards said a blood-stained shawl found by the body of Catherine Eddowes who was one of the Ripper's victims he bought in 2007 after an auction in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, held vital DNA evidence which led him to the killer. He used pioneering techniques to find DNA from her blood and that of the killer.

爱德华兹先生说，他在2007年一个拍卖会上买下了其中一名受害者凯瑟琳(Catherine Eddowes)的一条血迹斑斑的披肩，通过使用高科技采集相关样本、比对出可信度极高的DNA证据，从而使凶手得到确认。
