THE author who claims to have identified serial killer Jack the Ripper has called it “justice” for the families of his victims.

Russell Edwards said DNA on a bloody shawl recovered from the body of Catherine Eddowes is an exact match with suspect Aaron Kosminski.

He said that proves barber Kosminski, a Polish emigre, is the Ripper, who killed at least five women in Whitechapel, East London, in 1888.

Russell, who bought the shawl at auction in 2007, has hired a legal team to fight for an inquest on the grounds it is new evidence.

He said: “It’s very difficult to put into words the elation I felt when I saw the 100 per cent DNA match.

“This brings closure and it’s a form of justice for the descendants.

“He can’t be prosecuted because he’s dead but this is the closest thing they can do.

“This man committed atrocities towards their ancestors and we know it’s him and we want the courts to say, ‘Yes, you’re right.”

Karen Miller, 53, Catherine’s descendant, said: “We have the proof, now we need this inquest to legally 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 Karen and descendants of Kosminski to get justice for the victims.

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.

AS my pebble hits the water, ripples fan out, ­disturbing the reflected scene of snow-dusted mountain tops.

If it weren’t for my bouncing dog, Dora, and the pebbles I’d been launching for her to fetch, the lake would be almost eerily still and quiet.

With tall, broad trees and raw, jagged cliffs bordering the water, the setting reminded me of one of a lakeside beauty spot you would find in New Zealand.

Instead, I’m in Snowdonia ­National Park, deep in the Welsh countryside.

Bala Lake is this country’s largest freshwater lake, stretching 3.5miles in length.

And a crisp winter’s day is the perfect time to take in its beauty.

I’m the only person around that morning, it seems, bar one fellow jogger.

My family were still sleeping back at our cosy holiday home, 20 minutes up the road near the village of Llangwm in Corwen.

Dodging sheep

I can’t blame them. With a roaring log burner keeping the living room toasty and a bubbling hot tub overlooking sheep grazing in fields, Cefn Nannau was the perfect escape — and not just because it stands in solitude on a farm.

The 12-person barn conversion was recently named the best property in North Wales in Sykes Cottages’ Gems Awards and is perfectly situated to explore the North Wales’ best nature spots.

As well as six characterful bedrooms, most with ensuites, there are two living rooms and a large kitchen that is perfect for cooking up group feasts, with a long dining table at its centre.

You won’t need to venture far to gather goodies to cook, either.

The award-winning Rhug Estate Farm Shop is less than 10 minutes’ drive and is crammed full of local, artisan treats that kept me coming back for more.

You may want to keep tabs on what you’re buying, though, as costs can stack up quickly here – this lovely estate has been visited by King Charles and Queen Camilla, after all.

We stocked up on Welsh beers from local microbreweries, including a rose-flavoured IPA and chocolate mousse stout, plus homemade Scotch eggs, pies and olives from the deli counter, and eggs from the local hens.

Stay for grub at the cafe. It’s one of the best local spots for food, serving organic fry-ups for brekkie plus classic Welsh rarebits and jacket spuds for lunch.

The entire place is dog-friendly, too.

For more pub-like food, head to the Berwyn Arms, 10 minutes up the road in Corwen.

It’s a great spot for a cracking Sunday roast, which you can tuck into while enjoying sweeping views of the valley and its running river.

Eat up, because if there’s one thing North Wales is known for it’s the excellent hiking trails.

And I’m not just talking Mount Snowdon — although I hear it is the easiest of the UK’s famous three peaks to climb — but ­tranquil strolls through villages.

We pottered along winding paths, following slowly trickling streams and dodging shaggy sheep in their tens.

Most days, the sun only hinted at an appearance by piercing holes through the thick clouds.

But that doesn’t matter in these beautiful surroundings. Plus, you’ll be grateful for the cool weather when hiking.

There are plenty of easy and challenging trails from Betws-y-Coed, a picturesque village, home to dog-friendly cafes and pubs.

But if you prefer the coast to mountains, then head north to Colwyn Bay or west to Harlech.

Both beaches are less than an hour’s drive from the holiday home by car.

Harlech is also home to a mighty castle (entry is £30.40 for a family of four), while Colwyn has a traditional seaside feel with a long promenade and pier.

Kids can enjoy classic amusements or come face to face with tigers, chimpanzees and reptiles at the Welsh Mountain Zoo (around £52 for a family of four).

My dog Dora, however, was only interested in one thing — more pebbles to chase.

And with views like these, I had no complaints launching them into the sea for as long as my arm would allow.

O ROMEO, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

Well, it turns out he’s on the Greek island of Kos and if you go to his restaurant — just like I did on the first night of my holiday — I bet he’d give you the warmest of welcomes, too.

It was by pure chance that I stumbled into the roadside restaurant, Taverna Romeo, but I’m so glad that I did.

I’d only just arrived on the dinky island with my husband Chris and five-year-old son Alex and the rustic, traditional food was just what we needed to fuel our hungry tummies.

There was also small playground that kept Alex entertained, a while the adults knocked back a carafe of wine.

But best part is the whole meal cost only 40 euros and that included the wine, a large Greek salad, gyros, spaghetti and an ice cream with sparklers for Alex, who was led by Romeo into the kitchen to pick his flavours.

We were staying five minutes up the road at the Grecotel Luxme Kos Imperial hotel in the quiet resort of Psalidi on the east of the island.

It is a stunning hotel with six pools, set over 100,000 square metres, with a huge lagoon in the centre surrounded by well-maintained gardens and 383 rooms.

We had booked bed and breakfast but all kids under 12 are treated to a free half-board dining package.

Luckily for us parents, as well as the crepes, ice cream and cake available all day, there was also plenty of fresh fruit and sandwiches.

For the first few days we dined at Romeo’s or ate at the hotel’s buffet (for 25 euros a head you can eat as much as you like, dining inside or out).

There’s something for everyone at the buffet — local breads, dips and Greek foods plus a huge salad bar and freshly made pizzas and desserts.

Every morning, Alex woke up before 6am desperate to go swimming and I couldn’t really blame him.

The sea here is crystal clear and you can see the Turkish peninsula of Anatolia on the horizon, less than ten miles away.

We bought a spade for five euros from the hotel shop and Alex made sandcastles, fed bread to the fish and left me slightly terrified after demanding we go out for 30 minutes on a pedalo (25 euros).

He also plunged into the kids’ pool, which, thanks to school holidays, meant there were plenty of other children to splash around with.

And if he hadn’t made pals in the pool then he certainly would at the kids’ club, which turned out to be one of the best things about this hotel.

It is run by local lady, Debbie, and an amazing team of staff.

Each day they have a schedule of activities for children, which is shared on the hotel app, including treasure hunts, cookery and Greek lessons, movie afternoons and football.

The adults can even stay and join in.

Together Alex and I did yoga classes, painted stones and made bracelets, which we both adored.

Kos is just 26 miles long and only seven miles wide and has been inhabited since prehistoric times.

It is the third largest of the Dodecanese islands and it can easily be explored thanks to the bus which departs from right outside the hotel and takes guests to the capital, Kos town (the ride takes ten minutes and costs two euros).

We decided to hire a car, however, which meant that we could explore the island at leisure.

It only took us 90 minutes to drive from one end to the other and there is one main road too, so it wasn’t stressful.

The first stop was the Melissa honey farm near the town of Kefalos in the west.

Our guide there showed us the equipment her great grandfather had once used to extract it from the honeycomb, compared to the modern kit her father has now.

We tasted all different types of the sticky, sweet stuff — including wild strawberry, pine and thyme — and left with plenty of jars, as well as a rich honey hand cream for me and baklava pastries packed with nuts for grandad back at home.

The highlight for Alex wasn’t the food, though. It was meeting and feeding the farm’s donkeys that were in stables outside.

Bursting with history

If you’re a nature fan like Alex then head to Plaka Forest, a natural park in the centre of the island which has trails for walkers and towering pine trees plus scores of peacocks who wander freely.

The birds have become so used to people coming to feed them that they are super-friendly.

Sadly one was born completely white and gets bullied by the others for his appearance — so Alex gave him an extra biscuit.

For a bit of culture, Antimachia Castle is bursting with history.

Alex has now decided he wants to be a pilot — and fly back to Kos because ‘it was the best holiday ever’. I couldn’t disagree

We thought it may bore our little one — but he loved it. The fort, which sits 170 metres above sea level, was built in 1322 and played a key role in defending the island from Ottoman invasions.

Some of the walls have been preserved as well as the foundations of the houses. Two tiny churches remain intact — the Byzantine church of Agios Nikolaos and the chapel of Agia Paraskevi — which are a sight to behold.

Entry — just like the honey farm and forest — was free.

On our way back to the hotel, we wandered through the winding cobbled streets of the old town in Kos.

Alex said goodbye to nature – and his pocket money – as he devoured a four euros bubble gum ice cream in a cone.

And thanks to his Greek lessons, he proudly said “efharisto” instead of “thank you” as he handed over his cash.

We were far from eager to return home after such a laidback getaway, but the blow was softened when, before our Jet2 flight took off, the captain welcomed kids into the cockpit for a tour and gave out stickers.

It certainly made our delay on the tarmac whizz by in a flash.

Alex has now decided he wants to be a pilot — and fly back to Kos because “it was the best holiday ever”. I couldn’t disagree.

NATALIE Cassidy could be set for a major reality TV appearance after her shock EastEnders exit.

The Sun revealed yesterday that the Sonia Fowler actress was leaving the soap after 32 years and she will film her final scenes next month around the must-see 40th anniversary week.

Following her departure news, Betway’s latest odds now suggest the actress might head to the Australian jungle, with 5/2 odds of signing up for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.

The odds of Natalie, 41, starring on Celebrity Masterchef stand at 6/1, while the star landing a lead role in a BBC sitcom remains at 20/1. 

Natalie would follow in the footsteps of a number of EastEnders stars who have enjoyed a stint on the ITV jungle show.

Her off-screen brother Dean Gaffney, who played Robbie Fowler on the soap, competed in the sixth series and came fifth place.

Jacqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren Branning, also took part on the show in 2019, while Danielle Harold competed back in 2023.

But Natalie will seem to remain loyal to her colleagues – as odds of Natalie joining rival soaps Coronation Street or Emmerdale stand at 33/1. 

Sonia’s exit

The special week, which kicks off on Monday February 17, will see a huge explosion rip through the soap’s iconic Queen Vic pub, with several much-loved characters getting caught up in the blast.

Natalie, 41, told bosses of her decision to leave the hit BBC One soap last summer, and rumours are rife that her character could be killed off during the soap’s 40th. 

An EastEnders source said: “The 40th week was always going to be shocking, but could they really kill off Sonia Fowler?

“Viewers have watched her grow up on screen and she’s been at the heart of some of the soap’s biggest storylines.

“It would be a proper soap shocker if she was to die during the 40th but equally it will be one that viewers will never ever forget.”

Natalie, who joined the BBC One soap back in 1993, aged just ten years, said: “I feel extremely sad to be writing this, but also very excited.

“After another 11 solid years back on The Square, I have decided it’s time to move on to pastures new. EastEnders is in my bones so I will never forget where I started my career and I will continue to love the show.

“Thank you to Chris Clenshaw for the opportunity to be such a big part of the 40th anniversary – it’s an honour. See ya, Sonia, going but never forgotten.”

Natalie’s character Sonia is currently pregnant with killer Reiss Colwell’s baby unaware that he bumped off his ex-wife Debbie, a crime she was later charged with.

Luckily, a jury found her not-guilty of murder after Reiss produced a video of Sonia’s sister Bianca Butcher confessing to the killing.

But with Bianca, played by actress Patsy Palmer, 52, having been imprisoned by twisted Reiss in a lock-up for months, and forced to make the recording, it’s only a matter of time before the the truth comes out.

 The source added: “There are so many twists and turns in the lead up to the 40th anniversary week. Sonia has no idea that Bianca is locked-up, and that Reiss is behind it all. But as she prepares to give birth in the coming weeks things will start to unravel.

“Bosses have pulled out all the stops to make the soap’s big 40th the most dramatic and unforgettable week in the history of EastEnders.

“And although it will be the last time we see the character of Sonia Fowler in Albert Square following Natalie’s decision to leave, everyone will have to wait and see if she makes it out alive.”
