Ever wondered what Jack the Ripper looked like? Probably not, but the answer will be given to you through technology as AI-generated depictions of him have recently been released, and as the NYP reports the infamous prostitute killer was a man of particularly dark and ferocious energy.

The illustrations come from Jeff Leahy, a long-time Ripper fan from Carmarthen, Wales, who produced a miniseries about the killer and has spent decades studying the lore surrounding one of history’s most infamous villains.

Using Midjourney software, along with information and available photos of relatives of prime suspect Aaron Kosminski, Leahy was able to create a rather impressive portrait of the man.

“It’s amazing that we finally have a picture of him. I was blown away by how impressive the image is,” Leahy told SWNS.

Kosminski was a Polish-born barber who worked in Whitechapel, the area of ​​London’s East End where the murders took place in the late 1800s.

Kosminski has been named by many experts as the Ripper, however no one has ever been able to prove his guilt.

“There’s never been a picture of him and this is the best we’ll ever have,” Leahy said.

“It’s very exciting to finally put a face to the world’s most notorious serial killer. I had two photos of his sister Matilda, one of his uncle and another of a close relative. I also had one from his brother-in-law, and the families were closely related – cousins ​​marrying for generations – so that’s still useful.”
