"pointing to a number of mistakes and assumptions made by its authors"
This statement violates the principle that Wikipedia should not take sides in disputes between sources. It needs to be rewritten as a neutral report. Zerotalk 11:20, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
 * What do you suggest instead? DrKay (talk) 18:43, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

peer reviewed OR not??
The article is confused - it first casts doubt on the conclusion as it claims it has not been subject to peer review AND then lists a peer review article - but does not explain how that is looked at - is it enough? What is missing for a firm conclusion? I think it needs updating and will tag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.112.30.115 (talk) 15:31, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't see the problem. The article seems quite clear: "Louhelainen's 2014 findings were criticised as they had not been subject to peer review by other scientists or investigators.[36][48] In March 2019, the Journal of Forensic Sciences published [a peer-reviewed paper]".

There are numerous problems with this page that should be corrected.
I am the author of Jack the Ripper and the Case for Scotland Yard's Prime Suspect, and did a lot of the original research on Kozminski. Some of my older articles are cited, and some of the information there is out of date or incorrect. More recent information can be found in my book, and in some articles that came out more recently.

- There is no evidence that Kozminski was "employed in a hospital as a hairdresser or orderly for a time"... I speculated on this in an old article, but there is no evidence to support this, so it should be removed.

- Abram Kozminski died in 1874. This is documented in my book. The part about an Abram Kozminski who died in Kolo in 1887 should be removed.

- Kozminski had several brothers and sisters, all called "Abrahams" in London. His brother Isaac and his brother Woolf, and his sister Matilda all lived in the vicinity of Greenfield Street in the 1880s and early 1890s. There was previously some confusion that Betsy was Kozminski's "sister", where in reality she was his "sister-in-law", the wife of Woolf Abrahams (born Woolf Kozminski... Aaron's full brother.) This confusion arose because Betsy's maiden name was also "Kozminski"... she was Woolf's cousin. This is all in my book. The part about "his sisters possibly shared responsibility for caring for him and he alternated living between their family homes" is thus misleading. In reality, it was probably his "brothers and sister" who cared for him.

- At the time of the murders, Aaron may have been living with his brother Woolf at 25 Providence St.

- Jacob Cohen was Aaron's cousin. This was discovered after the publication of my book.

There is much more that could be said. In summary... much of the information here comes from some older books and older articles by myself, which contained information that was later proved to be incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robhouse54 (talk • contribs) 14:39, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
