## Summary

A new interactive map documents 1,000 unsolved UK murder cases, drawing attention to killings that remain unresolved across the country. Its creators say the cases span decades and were selected through police records and regional newspaper research.

The map was compiled using Freedom of Information requests to every police force, alongside newspaper archives, and covers cases from before the Second World War to the past decade. Examples include the 1966 killing of Dickie Hart, the 1991 shooting of Anthony Johnson and the 1993 murder of 14-year-old Benji Stanley; no one has been convicted of Hart’s murder. Other cases cited include the double murder of Paul Rogers and Hussein Obad in Liverpool and the killing of Viv Graham in Newcastle.
