Murder of Margaret Cook
1946 murder in London, England
Margaret Cook was a woman who was shot dead on 9 November 1946 outside the Blue Lagoon nightclub in Carnaby Street, London. In 2015 a man living in Canada confessed to the shooting which would make this the longest gap between a crime and a confession in British criminal history.
