Russell Edwards' bombshell finding has led the descendants of victims to call for an inquest in the hopes of finding closure.
He extracted DNA from a shawl recovered from the scene of one of the slayings, and claimed the murderer was Aaron Kosminski, a Jewish émigré from Poland, who worked as a barber.
"It's very difficult to put into words the elation I felt when I saw the 100 per cent DNA match," Mr Edwards said.
Karen Miller, 53, whose ancestor Catherine Eddowes was brutally murdered, says it is time for an inquest to name the killer.
"It would mean a lot to me, to my family, to a lot of people to finally have this crime solved."
A campaign has been backed by the descendants of both Ms Eddowes and Kosminski, who say it is time to unmask the true killer and get justice for the women involved.
The ripper also took the lives of Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride and Mary Jane Kelly in the most heinous fashion, earning him his sinister moniker.
