Brighton Couple In Their 70s Deny Conspiracy To Murder

A man and a woman have appeared at Luton Crown Court to deny that they conspired to murder the man's first wife 42 years ago.

Carol Morgan, 36, was found bludgeoned to death at her shop in Bedfordshire on August 13, 1981.

A cold case investigation, launched in 2018 by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, led police to question Allen Morgan (73) and Margaret Morgan (74), the husband of the deceased and his second wife.

The couple, of Stanstead Crescent, Brighton, were charged with her murder and, this week, pleaded not guilty, denying any involvement in her death.

The couple have been bailed and will be called for trial on April 9, 2024.
