Book Description

Murder in Notting Hill by Mark Olden delves into one of Britain’s most infamous race murders that occurred around midnight on May 17, 1959. The victim, 32-year-old Antiguan carpenter Kelso Cochrane, was ambushed by a white gang on a Notting Hill slum street, and the incident had profound repercussions. Taking place against the backdrop of race riots and the presence of fascists in the area, the murder sparked widespread outrage. The book uncovers new evidence about the crime, presenting a narrative that combines elements of a whodunnit with insights into the social history of Notting Hill.
