Margaret Cook was shot in Carnaby Street, London on 9 November 1946.
She was shot through the heart with a .25 calibre bullet from a German automatic pistol in a narrow passage outside the Blue Lagoon nightclub in the West End at about 9.35pm. However, a man later confessed to her murder in 2015, saying that he shot her with a Russian gun during a row over money.
