SERIAL killer "Jack the Stripper" may finally have his identity revealed as one of his six victim's sons has said he knows who did it. It is one of the UK's most chilling unsolved serial killer cases and it left half a dozen sex workers dead, dumped stripped of their clothes across west London.

As evidence increasingly points towards a single suspect, a child of one of the victims has urgently pleaded the Metropolitan Police to re-investigate the cold case. Frances Brown was found dead and stripped naked in a Kensington car park on 25 November, 1964.

Her son, Frank, can't remember a time when his mum's murder did not dominate his life as he was just six months old when she was killed. He feels the victims' families have been robbed of justice and that one suspect is undoubtedly the killer. Frank told MailOnline that he'd always wanted to find out what had happened to his mum but that conversations surrounding the case had only recently opened up.

He added that while previously he used to accept the view of the police and found it easier to do so, he wants the force to look at the case again as the "families deserve it.". Frank's mum was one of six sex workers murdered over a two-year period in the 1960s in what became known as the Hammersmith nude murders.

Despite being led by Scotland Yard chief superintendent John Du Rose, nicknamed "five day John" due to his perceived ability to solve murders in just five days, the murder case eventually went cold. But for Frank, he believes he knows the identity of the killer for sure, claiming he was "100 per cent convinced" the murderer was Harold Jones.
