"Almost 70 years after a sex worker was shot on London’s iconic Carnaby Street, a 91-year-old man walked into a police station across the world to confess to the 1946 murder.
He didn’t even know her name.
Officials in Ontario, Canada, where the man now lives in a senior care facility, alerted the British authorities.
