1981年8月13日晚上,一名女子在贝德福德郡一个普通的小镇关上她的小店,从此再也没人见过她活着的样子。
The evening of 08/13/1981, a woman closed up her corner shop in an ordinary Bedfordshire town and was never seen alive again.
策划她谋杀的人逍遥法外,整整四十三年都没有受到惩罚。
The person who arranged her murder walked away and for forty three years walked free.
卡罗尔不该为了别人的私利而丧命。
Carol did not deserve to die for someone else's gain.
她不该被从历史中彻底抹去。
She did not deserve to be erased from history.
伤势严重到她的部分脑组织和头骨碎片散落在储藏室的地板上。
The damage was such as to have left parts of her brain and skull scattered around the storeroom floor.
这显然不只是单纯的抢劫杀人,背后另有隐情。
This seems to have been something beyond merely a murder committed in the course of robbery.
虽然已经过去四十多年了,但我今天再去现场时,当年看到的情景依然历历在目,跟当年一模一样。
Although it was over forty years ago, when I visited the scene, the memory of what I saw is clear to me today as it was forty years ago.
他真该在监狱里烂掉。
And he deserves actually to rot in prison.
欢迎收听《他们就在我们身边》第十一季第二十八集,本节目专注于英国真实犯罪案件。
Welcome to season 11 episode 28 of They Walk Among Us, a podcast dedicated to UK true crime.
卡罗尔出生于1944年节礼日。
Carol was born on Boxing Day nineteen forty four.
她是查尔斯和内莉·帕尔默的独生女,在伦敦北区的海伯里长大。
The only child of Charles and Nelly Palmer, she was raised in Highbury, North London.
1962年,17岁的卡罗尔遇到了她的第一任丈夫理查德·柯蒂斯。
Carol met her first husband, Richard Curtis, in 1962 when she was just 17.
他比她小一岁,住在温布尔登。
He was a year younger and living in Wimbledon.
两人是在他和朋友度假时偶然认识的。
The two had met while he was on holiday with a friend.
他们1965年结婚,搬到了威尔特郡的斯温顿定居,一起买了一套房子。
They married in 1965 and moved away to settle in Swindon, Wiltshire, where they bought a house together.
这对年轻夫妇后来有了一个儿子迪恩,1966年11月出生,还有一个女儿简,1968年9月出生。
The young couple became parents to a son Dean, born in November 1966, and a daughter Jane, in September 1968.
但可惜的是,他们之间的幸福并没有持续太久,到了1971年,婚姻已经出现严重问题。
However, unfortunately, the happiness they found in each other's company wasn't to last, and in 1971, the marriage was under considerable strain.
理查德·柯蒂斯后来在法庭上承认,他和卡罗尔在一起的时候,已经认识了别人。
Richard Curtis would later admit in a courtroom that he had met someone else while he was still with Carol.
他说,她对我离开很难过,但彼此之间并没有怨恨。
She was upset I was leaving, he said, but there was no animosity.
两人最终分道扬镳,后来正式离婚。
The couple separated permanently and eventually divorced.
卡罗尔留在了他们在斯温顿共同买下的房子里,独自把两个孩子迪恩和简抚养长大。
Carol remained in the home they had purchased as a couple in Swindon, where she raised their children, Dean and Jane.
理查德·柯蒂斯按时支付抚养费,并在遗嘱中为两个孩子做了安排。
Richard Curtis paid child support and made provisions for his son and daughter in his will.
卡罗尔通过一个名为Gingerbread的单亲家庭全国性组织寻求情感支持和建议。
Carol sought moral support and advice through a national organization for lone parents called Gingerbread.
正是在一次Gingerbread小组活动中,她遇到了未来的丈夫摩根。
It was at a gingerbread group event that she met her future husband, Morgan.
两人一见如故,很快变得亲密无间。
The two clicked and quickly became close.
他搬进了卡罗尔的家,两人在春天结了婚。
He moved into Carol's home, and they married in the spring.
后来,卡罗尔的表姐帕梅拉·史密斯在描述卡罗尔的性格和她对儿女的付出时说,她是个温柔又漂亮的姑娘。
Later describing the type of person Carol was and her dedication to her son and daughter, Carol's cousin, Pamela Smith, said she was a lovely, very pretty girl.
卡罗尔是个非常称职的母亲。
Carol was a really good mother.
孩子永远是第一位的。
Her children came first.
后来向警方作证的所有人都一致认同这一点,毫无例外。
Those who subsequently gave statements to the police were all in agreement on this point without exception.
1979年12月,这对新婚夫妇开启了一项新的生意。
In December 1979, the newlyweds embarked on a new business venture.
他们在贝德福德郡莱顿布扎德的芬奇小巷买下了一家便利店,店面不小,位于一个市政住宅区。
They purchased a convenience store on Finch Crescent in Linslait, a sufficiently sized shop on a council estate in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.
这家名为摩根食品超市的店,是用卡罗尔出售她在斯温顿旧居所得款项的一部分资金购得的。
The shop named Morgan's Food Fair was purchased using funds from Carol's share of the proceeds from the sale of her former home in Swindon.
为资助这笔购买,他们还申请了六千英镑的贷款,并为双方都购买了人寿保险。
A £6,000 loan used to help finance the purchase was insured against both their lives.
如果卡罗尔或她丈夫中任何一人去世,未还清的贷款就会被免除。
If either Carol or her husband died, the outstanding debt would be cleared.
1980年1月,卡罗尔立下遗嘱,把所有财产都留给了艾伦。
In January 1980, Carol had also made a will leaving everything to Allen.
卡罗尔全身心投入,努力让生意运转起来。
Carol threw herself into making the business work.
然而到了1981年夏天,她开始意识到自己的婚姻已经陷入严重危机。
By the summer of nineteen eighty one, however, she had become aware that her marriage was in serious difficulty.
八月初,她给表姐帕梅拉打电话,说发现新婚丈夫有了外遇。
At the start of August, she rang her cousin Pamela to tell her she had discovered that her new husband was having an affair.
帕梅拉·史密斯回忆说,她根本不敢相信。
She couldn't believe it, Pamela Smith recalled.
她说这事已经持续很久了。
She said it had been going on for a long time.
她打电话过来的时候,我正在看王室婚礼的直播。
I had been watching the royal wedding when she rang.
他们结婚才四年而已。
They had only been married for four years.
卡罗尔还跟其他家人谈过婚姻中的问题,包括她的叔叔乔治·威尔金斯。
Carol had spoken with other family members about the trouble in her marriage, including her uncle George Wilkins.
她说,虽然艾伦有了外遇,但他还是想努力挽回这段婚姻。
She said that although Allen had had an affair, he expressed a desire to try to make things work.
卡罗尔知道问题很多,所以去公民咨询局寻求过建议。
Carol knew there was a lot to work through, so she had visited the Citizens Advice Bureau for guidance.
然后她预约了一位婚姻咨询师,希望艾伦之后能陪她一起去。
Then she had made an appointment with a marriage guidance counselor, hoping that Allen would attend with her later.
很明显,卡罗尔一直在努力挽救这段婚姻。
It was clear Carol was actively trying to save the marriage.
可惜的是,摩根家的问题不止婚姻这一件。
Sadly, their relationship wasn't the only issue the Morgans had.
卡罗尔的叔叔乔治·威尔金斯后来提到,他侄女的情绪开始发生变化。
Carol's uncle, George Wilkins, would reveal that his niece's mood began to shift.
他后来解释说,卡罗尔提到艾伦从不现身店里,总找借口晚上不在家。
He later explained, she said Allen was never in the shop and was always making excuses for being out at night.
卡罗尔曾形容,维系这段婚姻就像在打一场注定失败的仗。
Carol had described trying to keep her marriage together as feeling like she was fighting a losing battle.
尽管困难重重,卡罗尔还是告诉家人,她和艾伦的夫妻生活依然正常。
Despite the difficulties, Carol told family members that she and Allen were still intimate.
她还发现丈夫正在计划在卡丁顿开另一家店,希望这能为他们岌岌可危的婚姻带来转机,卡罗尔因此一直抱有希望。
She had also discovered that her husband was making plans to acquire another shop in Caddington, Hoping it might represent a fresh start for their troubled relationship, Carol remained optimistic.
不过,这对夫妻的经济状况以及他们共同经营的林斯莱商店,让分开变得格外复杂。
However, the couple's financial circumstances and their shared business in Linslay made the possibility of separation complicated.
1981年8月13日,星期四,是个温暖的夏夜,卡罗尔在晚上关掉了摩根食品超市。
Thursday, 08/13/1981, was a warm summer evening when Carol closed Morgan's Food Fair at pm.
当时店里只有她一个人,家里的狗西蒙被关在另一个房间里。
She was alone in the building apart from the family dog Simon, who had been shut in a separate room.
那天晚上,14岁的迪恩和12岁的简被带出去享受了一顿特别的款待。
Dean, then aged 14, and Jane, aged 12, had been taken out that evening for a treat.
他们的继父带他们去卢顿邓斯泰尔路的奥迪恩影院看了场双片连映。
Their stepfather took them to see a double bill of films at the Odeon cinema on Dunstable Road in Luton.
后来好几个人都提到,这次外出很不寻常。
Multiple people later voiced their opinion that this outing was unusual.
艾伦·摩根平时跟孩子关系并不亲密,一般不会在没有卡罗尔的情况下带他们出门。
Allen Morgan was not known to have a strong relationship with the children and didn't really take them anywhere without Carol.
有意思的是,艾伦并没有邀请妻子同行,而且在出门前,卡罗尔曾说过,孩子们其实并不太想出去。
Interestingly, Allen had not asked his wife to join them, and prior to the outing, Carol had mentioned that the children had not particularly wanted to go.
晚上七点左右,一位女士在林斯莱德塞达斯路商店隔壁街道的电话亭里,看到一个年轻男子快步走过,神情紧张。
At approximately 7PM, a woman standing in a telephone box on the next street over from the shop on Cedars Way in Linslade noticed a young man walking quickly and looking nervous.
当时她正打电话跟朋友聊天,看见那人把两个装满的塑料袋中的一个掉了下来。
The witness was talking to a friend on the telephone as she observed the man drop one of two full plastic bags.
他刚走到电话亭附近的一个停车场。
He had just reached a car park near the telephone box.
目击者记得那辆车是一辆深绿色的福特旅行车。
The witness remembered the vehicle being a dark green Ford estate.
塑料袋掉下来的时候,她好像看到里面有现金——几张一英镑纸币、一张五英镑纸币,还有一些零钱。
As one of the plastic bags was dropped, the woman thought she could see cash, several £1 notes, a £5 note and loose coins.
袋子上印着的名字或标志,跟摩根食品超市用的很像。
A name or logo printed on the bags was similar to the type used by Morgan's food fair.
那个提着袋子的男人看起来很年轻,大约21岁,身高一米七到一米七五,身材瘦削,后脑勺留着及肩的浅棕色卷发,两侧剪得很短。
The man holding the bags was described as young, around 21 years old, five feet seven to five feet eight inches tall, a slim build with light brown wavy collar length hair at the back and short at the sides.
那种在当时很流行的莫西干发型。
A mullet cut that was popular at the time.
目击者记得那名年轻男子的穿着:白色衬衫、略微喇叭形的蓝色牛仔裤,还有条黑色皮带。
The witness recalled the young man's clothing, a white shirt, slightly flared blue denim jeans, and a black belt.
他左手手腕上戴着一块表,表带是白银色的。
He was wearing a watch on his left wrist with a white silver strap.
让这名女子印象最深的是他的鼻孔,特别宽,她形容他是个猪鼻子。
Most distinctively in the woman's mind were the man's nostrils, which were wide, and she described him as pig nosed.
这次目击之所以重要,是因为当晚在摩根食品集市后屋的储藏室里发生了可怕的事件。
The witness sighting was significant because of the horrendous events that had unfolded in the storeroom at the rear of Morgan's food fair that evening.
卡罗尔·摩根遭到了残忍袭击。
Carol Morgan had been viciously attacked.
艾伦·摩根和孩子们看完电影马拉松后,大约十点半回到了家。
Allen Morgan and the children returned to the family home after their movie marathon at approximately 10:30.
迪安后来在法庭上说,他们进门时,继父并没有喊卡罗尔。
Dean would later tell a courtroom that when they came in, his stepfather did not call out for Carol.
艾伦·摩根让继子上楼去泡杯咖啡。
Allen Morgan asked his stepson to go upstairs and make a cup of coffee.
简去走廊拿自行车锁的钥匙。
Jane went through the hallway to retrieve the keys for her bicycle lock.
迪恩去了厨房,发现家里的狗在简卧室紧闭的门后低声哀鸣。
Dean went to the kitchen where he found the family dog whimpering behind a closed door in Jane's bedroom.
这很反常,因为狗平时很乖,总在公寓和店里自由活动。
This was unusual as the dog was friendly and normally had the run of the flat and shop.
迪恩放狗出来,然后泡了咖啡。
Dean let the dog out and made the coffee.
接着,他听到继父在楼下打电话。
He then heard his stepfather on the telephone downstairs.
艾伦一脸震惊地走上楼,给朋友打电话,叫他们来接孩子。
Allen came upstairs with a shocked look on his face and rang a friend asking them to come and collect the children.
他在储藏室发现了卡罗尔满身淤青、血迹斑斑的尸体。
He had found Carol's badly bruised and bloodied body in the storeroom.
之后,艾伦又拨了电话报警。
Allen then got on the phone again to call the police.
负责后续谋杀案调查的总警司布莱恩·普里克特赶到了现场。
Detective Superintendent Brian Prickett, who led the subsequent murder investigation, arrived at the scene.
他后来作证说:我走进储藏室,看到卡罗尔·摩根的尸体,那场面简直太惨了。
He would later testify: I went into the storeroom and saw the body of Carol Morgan, and that was a horrendous scene.
那情景到现在还像四十年前一样清晰地印在我脑子里。
It's as clear in my mind as it was forty odd years ago.
尸检时,法医纳特·凯里博士发现,卡罗尔当时三十多岁,头部遭受了十到十五次重击。
During a postmortem, pathologist Doctor Nat Carey found that Carol, who was in her mid thirties at the time of her death, had sustained between ten and fifteen blows to the head.
凶器很可能是斧头、重刀或者砍刀。
The weapon was consistent with an axe, heavy knife, or machete.
其中好几下是在卡罗尔已经倒地、失去反抗能力后才下的手。
A number of the blows had been delivered while Carol was already incapacitated on the floor.
伤势太重了,她的脑组织和颅骨碎片都散落在储藏室的地板上。
Such was the damage that parts of her brain and skull were scattered across the storeroom floor.
事后查明,有人从抽屉里偷走了四百英镑现金,还从收银机里拿走了三十五英镑。
It was subsequently discovered that £400 in cash had been stolen from a desk drawer and £35 from the till.
店里大约还少了1400支香烟。
Approximately 1,400 cigarettes had also disappeared from the premises.
这次抢劫奇怪的地方在于,那张被偷走400英镑的桌子有个特殊的安保装置。
What was strange about the robbery was that the desk from which the £400 was taken had an unusual security feature.
艾伦·摩根告诉警方,桌上装了一个隐蔽的机关。
Allen Morgan explained to the police that it was fitted with a concealed mechanism.
他管它叫‘中国谜题’,必须先把另一个抽屉移到精确的位置,现金抽屉才会打开。
He called it a Chinese puzzle, and it required another drawer to be moved to a precise position before the cash drawer would open.
他说,他觉得只有他和卡罗尔知道怎么操作。
He said that he thought only he and Carol knew how to operate it.
调查人员没有发现店铺有强行闯入的痕迹。
The investigators found no evidence of forced entry to the shop.
他们认为,这说明门可能是卡罗尔关门时没锁,或者她让凶手进来的——因为那人是她认识的人。
They felt this detail suggested the door had either been unlocked while Carol was shutting up, or she had let the killer in as it was someone Carol knew.
那场面太惨了。
It was terrible.
你根本不知道我推门进去的时候是什么情景。
You you got no idea of what it was like when I walked in that stop.
完全想不到她当时是什么样子。
No idea at all what she looked like.
侦探总长布莱恩·普里克特主导了贝德福德郡警局历史上规模最大的一起谋杀案调查。
Detective Superintendent Brian Prickett led what became one of the largest murder investigations in the history of Bedfordshire Police.
起初有八十多名警员参与此案,位于莱顿布扎德的专案室整理了超过二十万张索引卡,开展了六千多项调查行动,讯问了十二名嫌疑人,收集了六百多份证人证词。
Initially over 80 officers were assigned to the case The incident room in Leighton Buzzard generated more than a staggering 200,000 index cards and over 6,000 locked actions twelve oh four suspects were interviewed and more than 600 witness statements were taken.
案发时段出现在现场附近的一辆深绿色福特旅行车,引发了对数千辆同类车辆的排查。
The dark green Ford estate seen near the scene at the relevant time prompted checks on thousands of vehicles.
由于艾伦·摩根案发时正和卡罗尔的孩子们在一起,很快就被排除了直接行凶的嫌疑。
Allen Morgan was quickly ruled out as the person who had physically committed the murder because he was out with Carol's children at the time.
但考虑到种种情况,这位当时31岁的男子从一开始就备受关注。
Considering the circumstances, however, the then 31 year old was a person of interest from the outset.
有不少人因为怕卷入流言蜚语,再也不来这家店买东西了。
There's quite a few other people who won't shop here because they're afraid of being caught up in the gossip.
警察自己清楚,你们也知道,我在卢顿的时候,问题出在那些照片上。
And as the police know themselves and you yourselves know, while I was in Luton, technically, it's the pictures.
他们凭什么这么说?
What grounds do they think they've got for saying that?
嗯,我当时挺乐意配合的,我想是这样吧。
Well, because I was happy to go lucky, I suppose.
我确实有点花心,但也就到此为止了。
I was a bit of a a womanizer, but that's all.
这绝对是唯一的原因。
It's the only reason.
警方很快查明,艾伦一直在外有婚外情,而且生意也陷入财务困境。
Officers quickly established that Allen had been having an affair and that the business was not in a good financial position.
普里凯特警监确实对他心存疑虑,后来他曾这样评价艾伦·摩根。
Detective Superintendent Prickett certainly had his suspicions and later said of Allen Morgan.
我花了很多时间,无论是正式还是非正式地和他交谈过,他的为人一清二楚。
I'd spent many hours talking to him both formally and informally, and his character was clear.
他是个欺软怕硬的人。
He was a bully.
他自大又狂妄。
He was arrogant, big headed.
我觉得,如果我们抓了他,把那些有限的间接证据摆在他面前,他肯定会说:‘我怎么可能杀人?你们证明给我看啊。’
I took the view that if we arrested him and put the brief circumstantial evidence to him, he would have said, you know I couldn't have committed the murder and prove it.
那样一来,我们的底牌就全露了,他也不会再配合我们了。
That would have disclosed our hand and stopped him cooperating with us.
相反,他们鼓励摩根去接受媒体采访。
Instead, Morgan was encouraged to speak to the press.
他接受了多次采访,包括BBC《东区视点》的报道,拍摄地点就在案发店铺外。苏格兰场的法医专家也被请来协助调查,还向公众发布了那个有着明显宽大鼻孔的年轻人的模拟画像。
He gave several interviews, including for BBC Look East, which was filmed outside the shop where the crime was committed Forensic investigators from Scotland Yard were also brought in to assist, and a photo fit of the young man with the distinctive prominent nostrils was released to the public.
当地一位商人悬赏五千英镑,提供线索导致逮捕者可获奖励。
The local businessman offered a £5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
此外,侦探们还想到利用卢顿镇足球俱乐部新安装的电子记分牌,直接向观赛的球迷们发出呼吁。
Furthermore, detectives had the idea of using the new computerized scoreboard at Luton Town Football Club to appeal directly to fans attending matches.
1981年9月,距离谋杀案发生仅六周,贝德福德郡警方请来了一名法医催眠师。
In September 1981, just six weeks after the murder, Bedfordshire Police employed a forensic hypnotist.
八名主动出面的目击者参与了催眠,希望能回忆起更多关于案发时的细节。
Eight witnesses who had come forward took part in the hope of recovering additional details of the incident.
同一月,警方还被报道正在调查卡罗尔谋杀案与利顿布扎德地区一系列针对儿童小马的持刀袭击之间的可能关联。
That same month, the police were also reported to be investigating a possible link between Carol's murder and a series of knife attacks on children's ponies in the Leighton Buzzard area.
然而,尽管警方竭尽全力,却始终没能找到确凿的线索。
However, despite the constabulary's best efforts, they struggled to find any conclusive answers.
这个案子每两年都会重新审查一次,但每次审查都毫无新进展,令人沮丧。
The case was reviewed every two years, but frustratingly each review produced nothing new.
调查人员确实从现场提取到了指纹证据,但经过大量排查,这些指纹始终无法与任何涉案人员匹配。
Investigators did however recover fingerprint evidence from the scene, but despite numerous inquiries, the prints could not be matched to anyone connected to the case.
1998年5月,距离卡罗尔·摩根遇害已经过去了十七年,芬奇小巷那家便利店——当时已改了招牌——再次被当地报纸提及。
In May 1998, seventeen years after the murder of Carol Morgan, the corner shop at Finch Crescent, then trading under a different name, was again mentioned in the local newspapers.
《利顿布扎德观察家报》和《林斯莱德公报》报道,有人在凌晨把烧着的纸塞进了门缝里。
The Leighton Buzzard Observer and Linslade Gazette reported that burning paper had been stuffed through the letterbox in the early hours of the morning.
幸运的是,火灾主要只烧坏了玻璃门,货物虽然沾满了灰烬和炭粉,但没被完全毁掉。
Luckily, the fire damage was contained mainly to the glass doorway, though stock was covered in soot and ash.
卡罗尔·摩根谋杀案的调查一直未结,虽然有传言说她丈夫——后来搬到了布莱顿——可能涉案,但艾伦在案发时根本不在店里。
The investigation into Carol Morgan's murder remained open, and although there were rumors that her husband, who had since moved to Brighton, had been involved, Allen was nowhere near the shop at the time of the murder.

艾伦·摩根出生于1950年5月。
Allen Morgan was born in May 1950.
他一生中搬过几次家,住过全国各地,认识他的人大多觉得他是个自信、随和、普通的家庭男人。
Over the course of his life he lived in several parts of the country and to many who knew him, he appeared to be a confident, personable, and ordinary family man.
和卡罗尔一样,他也有两个来自前一段关系的孩子,但他和他们没有任何联系。
Like Carol, he had two children from a previous relationship, though he had no contact with them.
在妻子1981年去世后,他接受媒体采访时,毫不避讳地称自己有点花心。
In interviews he gave to the press following his wife's death in 1981, he freely labeled himself a bit of a womanizer.
他和卡罗尔相识结婚后,两人一起创办了这家新生意。
After he met and married Carol, they started the new business together.
不过,他们渐渐意识到,无论卡罗尔多么努力,这家小店始终难以维持生计。
Still, they slowly came to the realization that regardless of how much effort Carol put in, the local shop wasn't financially viable.
认识这对夫妇的人,从没人提起海伦在店里干活的事。
No one who knew the couple ever spoke about Helen's work ethic in relation to the shop.
这或许反映出卡罗尔是个什么样的人。
This perhaps highlights the type of person Carol was.
她愿意尽一切努力让生活和事业都运转下去。
She was willing to do all she could to make things work, not just in her home life, but her business life as well.
摩根家的会计师后来向陪审团表示,他们明显担心生意收入不足以养家,形容他们的生活是捉襟见肘。
The Morgan's accountant would later tell a jury that there were clear concerns about whether the business was generating sufficient income for the family and describe their situation as living hand to mouth.
在卡罗尔遇害前四天,一张开给供应商杰克曼斯的支票被退票了。
A check made out to a supplier, Jackmans, bounced four days before Carol was killed.
这对夫妇搬到林斯莱德后几个月,艾伦就开始和当地一位已婚女子来往。
Within months of the couple's move to Linslade, Allen began a relationship with a local married woman.
玛格丽特·斯普纳和丈夫迈克尔已经在林斯莱德住了大约五年。
Margaret Spooner had been living in Linslade with her husband Michael for around five years.
艾伦·摩根是在送杂货的途中认识她的,那是他经营店铺的一部分工作。
Allen Morgan met her on his grocery delivery rounds, which he did as part of running the shop.
玛格丽特后来向警方表示,艾伦有一次送货时停下车,和她聊了几句,还说:‘你要是需要帮忙,随时找我。’
Margaret later told the police that Allen had stopped during a delivery, chatted and told her, If you need any help, I'm here.
她一开始觉得这段恋情不过是场无聊的短暂暧昧,就像她自己说的那样。
She initially thought the romantic encounters were going to be a silly little fling as she put it.
但到了1981年夏天,他们已经交往了大约十四个月,事情变得越来越激烈。
Still in the summer of nineteen eighty one, they had been having an affair for approximately fourteen months, and things were becoming more intense.
艾伦每周趁迈克尔上班时,偷偷溜进玛格丽特的家,和她发生关系,而迈克尔当时完全蒙在鼓里。
Allen would sneak into Margaret's marital home to have sex with her three times a week while her husband Michael was at work, initially oblivious to what was going on.
迈克尔·斯普纳最终发现了妻子出轨的事,也知道对方是谁,于是直接找上了艾伦·摩根和摩根食品店。
Michael Spooner eventually discovered that his wife was having an affair and he knew who with, so he confronted Allen Morgan and Morgan's Food Fair.
他后来说:我去他店里,告诉他不许再跟我妻子来往。
He later said, I went round to his shop and told him that he was not to see my wife anymore.
他几乎什么都没说。
He said very little at all.
他看起来很惊讶,居然被我知道了。
He seemed surprised I knew all about it.
迈克尔给了玛格丽特一个最后通牒。
Michael gave Margaret an ultimatum.
他描述当时的情况时说,我对这局面很不爽,就决定去船上待一个星期。
Describing what happened, he said, I was not too happy with the situation and decided to spend a week on my boat.
我回来后,她说情况变了,宁愿跟我住,因为我能给她比艾伦更多的安全感。
When I returned, she said things had changed and said she preferred to live with me as I could offer more security than Allen could.
迈克尔找艾伦对质后不到一个月,玛格丽特又回到店里去找她的恋人。
It was not over a month after Michael's confrontation with Allen Morgan that Margaret returned to the shop to speak to her lover.
据迈克尔说,玛格丽特和艾伦曾约定,只要艾伦能和卡罗尔分开、把店卖了,玛格丽特就搬去和他一起住。
According to Michael, Margaret and Allen had agreed that if Allen could separate from Carol and sell the shop, Margaret would go and live with him.
迈克尔还在法庭上向满座的听众提到,妻子在谋杀案发生前,曾多次不明原因地从账户取钱。
Michael would also tell a packed courtroom about some unexplained withdrawals from their bank account by his wife prior to the murder.
金额都不大,每次五到一百英镑,加起来总共约二十万三千英镑。
Not significant sums of money, just 50 to £100 here and there, totaling between $203,100 pounds.
玛格丽特并不是唯一一个取钱的人。
Margaret wasn't the only one withdrawing money.
在1981年8月13日之前几天,艾伦·摩根从自己的建房互助协会账户里连续取了九百英镑,其中一笔尤其值得注意——正好发生在谋杀当天。
In the days leading up to 08/13/1981, Allen Morgan made a series of cash withdrawals from his own Building Society account amounting to £900 One of the withdrawals was particularly interesting as it happened the day of the murder.
他曾在一家全国连锁分行取款250英镑,当时却对警察说,自己正在家熟睡。
He was positively identified at a branch of nationwide withdrawing £250 Yet he had told police officers at that time he was fast asleep at home.
卡罗尔·摩根去世后,她的丈夫并没有躲避记者。
Following Carol Morgan's death, her husband did not shy away from reporters.
他接受了多场媒体和电视采访。
He agreed to a series of press and television interviews.
每次采访中,他都坚称自己无罪。
In each, he protested his innocence.
他甚至在妻子遇害的那家店铺外,接受了记者约翰·基迪的采访。
He spoke to journalist John Kiddie outside the very shop where his wife had been murdered.
警方有没有更接近抓到杀害你妻子的那个人?
Are the police any nearer, in fact, catching the person that did kill your wife?
他们说有,因为一直在排除嫌疑人。
Well, they're saying they are because they're eliminating people all the time.
所以他们离抓到那个人应该更近了。
So they must be nearer to catching a person.
如果他们真抓到了凶手,你会回来吗?
If ever they do catch the killer, will you come back here?
我不知道。
I don't know.
这得看情况。
It all depends.
不过,我倒是想亲手抓住那个凶手。
I'd like to get hold of a killer, though.
我回来就是为了这个。
That's what I'd come back for.
后来,约翰·基迪回顾了他对艾伦·摩根的采访。
John Kiddie later looked back at his interview with Allen Morgan.
当被问及对妻子遇害的感受时,艾伦的回应显得冷漠,满脑子都是经济损失。
Asked how he felt about his wife's murder, Allen's response appeared cold and firmly fixed on financial loss.
约翰·基迪评论说:他居然说,我丢了生意,亏了钱,而不是‘我心碎了,我妻子死了’。
John Kiddie remarked: He amazingly said, I've lost business, I've lost money rather than I'm devastated, my wife is dead.
在一次报纸采访中,艾伦坚持说自己没干这事,尤其是他手头钱那么少。
In one newspaper interview, Allen insisted that he was not responsible, especially considering how little money he had.
当时手头就那么点钱。
Had.
有人说我雇了人去杀人。
There is talk that I hired someone to carry out the murder.
可一个小镇小店老板,怎么知道去哪儿找人干这种事?
But how does a shopkeeper from a country town find out how to do that?
这种事只在书里才看得到。
It is the kind of thing you read about in books.
1981年10月,艾伦公开回应了那些愈演愈烈的流言,尤其是在他老家。
In October 1981, Allen publicly hit back at the gossip, which continued to spread, no more so than in his hometown.
他说:自从那以后,一直有人传是我杀了她。
He said, rumors have been going around ever since that I killed her.
这纯粹就是恶意造谣。
This is just malicious gossip.
我根本不可能杀了我妻子,也不可能花钱请别人去杀她。
There is no way in the world I could have killed my wife or paid anyone to do it for me.
有人竟说出这种话,我真的很伤心。
I am very upset that people could say such a thing.
他再次把重点放在生意上,说这些谣言让他根本没法赚钱。
Once again he focused on the business side, claiming the rumors were making it impossible to turn a profit.
如果这种情况继续下去,他说他只能搬离这个地区。
If it continued, he said he would have to move out of the area.
警察调查期间,我停业了七个星期。
Well, I closed the business for seven weeks while the police were investigating it.
货物损失了不少,现在我打算亏本把店盘出去。
I lost a lot of stock throughout throughout, and I like to sell the business now at a loss.
孩子们还好,但我觉得我和孩子们都觉得,离开这儿会更好,毕竟关系到他们的未来。
The kids are alright, but I think myself and the kids think that it would be better to get away, because it's their future.
他们一辈子都得活在这件事的阴影里。
They've got to live with the shadow over them all the time.
下个月,艾伦·摩根和玛格丽特·斯普纳收拾行李,去了马耳他度假。
The following month, Allen Morgan and Margaret Spooner packed their suitcases and went on holiday to Malta.
他们在那儿拍了不少照片。
While they were there, they posed for several photographs.
艾伦对记者说:我总不能一直沉浸在悲痛里。
Allen told reporters, I can't go on mourning forever.
玛格丽特说:如果我觉得艾伦跟这起谋杀有关,我根本不会待在这里。
Margaret said, if I thought Allen had anything to do with this murder, I wouldn't be here now.
谋杀案发生大约四个月后,玛格丽特终于离开了丈夫,搬去和艾伦·摩根以及卡罗尔的两个孩子一起住。
Around four months after the killing, Margaret Spooner finally left her husband and moved in with Allen Morgan and Carol's two children.
迈克尔·斯普纳以通奸为由获得了离婚。
Michael Spooner was granted a divorce on the grounds of adultery.
这对新伴侣先是短暂搬到了唐卡斯特,后来又去了谢菲尔德,在那里开了另一家店。
The new couple moved to Doncaster, albeit briefly, and then to Sheffield, where they opened another shop.
不过到了1987年,他们又搬了一次家,因为卡罗尔的两个青少年孩子迪恩和简正要参加O水准和A水准考试。
However, by 1987 they moved yet again as Carol's teenage children, Dean and Jane, were sitting their O level and A level exams.
这家人搬到了布莱顿定居。
The family had settled in Brighton.
他们开始了新生活,还加入了霍夫流线型高尔夫俱乐部。
They started a new life and joined the Hove Streamline Golf Society.
两人曾先后担任过俱乐部主席。
They both served as club captains at different times.
他们看起来就是一对普通的夫妻,住在伍丁迪安斯坦斯特德巷的一栋整洁的三居室房子里。
They seemed like a very ordinary family that lived in a well kept three bedroom house on Stansted Crescent in Woodingdean.
邻居们甚至说艾伦为人友善又大方。
Neighbors even described Allen as pleasant and generous.
他们喜欢带着狗在南唐斯国家公园里散步。
They enjoyed long walks with their dogs in the South Downs National Park.
一位高尔夫俱乐部的老会员谈到那些一直缠着艾伦和玛格丽特的流言时说:他们是一对非常好的夫妻,也是我们的好朋友。
One longtime golf club member speaking about the rumors that plagued Allen and Margaret wherever they went said, they're a lovely couple and very good friends of us.
我觉得他们被冤枉得太惨了。
I think it's dreadful what they've been dragged through.
近四十年来,卡罗尔·摩根的谋杀案一直悬而未决。
For nearly four decades, Carol Morgan's murder remained unsolved.
艾伦和玛格丽特早已结婚,住在布莱顿伍丁迪安的斯坦斯特德小巷。
Allen and Margaret had long been married and living on Stansted Crescent in Woodingdean, Brighton.
卡罗尔的孩子迪恩和简,是在继父和玛格丽特的陪伴下长大的。
Carol's children, Dean and Jane, had spent their formative years with their stepfather and Margaret.
遗憾的是,卡罗尔的父母查尔斯和内莉在谋杀案后就与孙辈失去了联系。
Sadly, Carol's parents, Charles and Nelly Palmer, had lost contact with their grandchildren after the murder.
后来发现,迪恩和简被要求给外祖父母写信,说他们有了新生活,不想再有任何往来。
It was later discovered that Dean and Jane had been told to write letters to their maternal grandparents telling them that they had new lives and did not want any contact with them.
卡罗尔的表姐帕梅拉·史密斯后来讲述了卡罗尔父母的遭遇。
Pamela Smith, Carol's cousin, would later describe what happened to Carol's parents.
他们失去了唯一的女儿,现在又失去了两个孙子,谁都没能从这巨大的打击中走出来。
They had lost their only child, and now they were losing their two grandchildren and neither got over their huge loss.
这真的太悲惨了。
It was just tragic.
让迪恩和简给祖父母写那种信的人,真是心肠太狠了,简直太狠了。
It was really wicked of whoever made Dean and Jane write those letters to their grandparents truly wicked.
卡罗尔的父母在案件结案前就去世了。
Carol's parents died before the case was resolved.
2018年,警方内部发生了人事变动。
In 2018, there was a personnel change in the police force.
卡尔·福斯特警司接任了贝德福德郡、剑桥郡和赫特福德郡冷案复查组的负责人。
Detective Superintendent Carl Foster took over as head of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, And Hertfordshire Cold Case Review Team.
他在审阅卡罗尔·摩根谋杀案的卷宗时,提了一个很直接的问题。
Reading through the file on Carol Morgan's murder, he asked a straightforward question.
艾伦·摩根被拘捕时说了什么?
What had Allen Morgan said when he was arrested?
答案是,艾伦从未被逮捕过。
The answer was that Allen had never been arrested.
近四十年来,从来没有人正式逮捕过他,也没当面把案子摊开跟他对质。
In nearly four decades, no one had placed him under formal arrest and put the case to him directly.
福斯特警督决定从头重新梳理这个案子。
Detective Superintendent Foster decided to revisit the case from the beginning.
他的团队需要处理大约六千份文件。
His team had approximately 6,000 documents to work through.
他们重新审查了所有现有证据,逐项核实,并再次联系了所有证人。
They reexamined all existing evidence top to bottom and reapproached witnesses.
档案里有一个名字引起了福斯特警督的特别注意,他认为这人值得深入调查。
There was one name in the file that stood out to Detective Superintendent Foster, and he considered it worthy of particular attention.
2021年,当侦探们敲开简·本宁顿的门时,她一开门就说:‘我等你们来见我,已经等了四十年了。’
When detectives knocked on the door of Jane Bunting in 2021, she opened it and said I've been waiting for you to come see me for forty years.
1981年夏天,简才十七岁。
Jane had been just 17 years old in the summer of nineteen eighty one.
她从小在林斯莱德长大,认识当时还叫玛格丽特·斯普纳的人。
She had grown up in Linslade and had known Margaret Spooner as she was then.
玛格丽特在简被学校开除后辅导她,还成了她的引路人。
Margaret had tutored Jane after she was expelled from school and had stepped in as a mentor to the teenager.
简后来描述玛格丽特是个很有道德感的人,特别愿意帮助弱势群体。
Jane later described Margaret as a very moral person who was particularly inclined to help the disadvantaged.
在卡罗尔·摩根遇害前几个月,简在林斯莱德的一家叫‘海豚’的酒吧里见过艾伦和玛格丽特。
A few months before Carol Morgan's murder, Jane had met Allen and Margaret at a pub named The Dolphin in Linslade.
谈话中,艾伦·摩根说他非常讨厌卡罗尔。
During the conversation, Allen Morgan said that he hated Carol.
我不想再和她过下去了。
I don't want to be married to her.
真希望她早点死。
I wish she'd die.
要是来个意外就好了。
Wouldn't an accident be nice?
他当时是开玩笑说的。
He joked.
当艾伦提到他打算怎么杀害卡罗尔时,事情变得更阴暗了。
Things took an even darker turn when Allen mentioned methods that he would use to kill Carol.
有人提到胰岛素,因为艾伦是糖尿病患者,但他立刻说这想法太蠢了。
Insulin was discussed as a possibility as Allen was a diabetic, but he exclaimed that the idea was really stupid.
也有人提议制造一场假车祸。
A staged car accident was also suggested.
玛格丽特指出,他们俩都不懂修车,这办法行不通。
Margaret pointed out that neither of them was a mechanic, so that was out.
艾伦接着说,你总可以花钱雇人。
Allen then said, you can always pay someone.
他转向简·本廷,直接问:你以前约会的那个丹尼·梅休怎么样?
He turned to Jane Bunting and asked directly, what's about that Danny Mayhew you went out with?
他有点黑道背景。
He's a bit of a criminal.
他认识这样的人吗?
Would he know someone?
简对这个问题感到震惊。
Jane was appalled by the question.
她拒绝帮忙,没给任何联系方式,直接离开了酒吧。
She refused to help, did not pass on any contact details, and left the pub.
后来,玛格丽特请简别把在海豚酒吧谈的事告诉任何人。
Margaret later asked Jane not to tell anyone about what had been discussed at the Dolphin pub.
当时简并没有向警方透露这些事。
Jane did not tell the police back then.
她后来解释说,玛格丽特特意叮嘱过她别讲出去。
She would subsequently explain, Margaret asked me not to.
我欠她人情,也一直对她忠心。
I owed her, and I was loyal to her.
简一直以为,当初调查结束后,警方没对艾伦和玛格丽特提起指控,就意味着他们清白了。
Jane Bunting had assumed that when no charges were brought against Allen and Margaret after the original investigation, they had been cleared.
直到2014年,简还和玛格丽特互发过友好的邮件。
Jane had exchanged friendly emails with Margaret as recently as 2014.
但2021年,当侦探敲开她家门时,她已经准备好把一切和盘托出了。
When detectives knocked on her door in 2021, though, she was ready to tell them everything.
她的前男友丹尼·梅休被找到了,结果发现他早在1981年就被警方问过话,当时已经排除了嫌疑。
Her former boyfriend Danny Mayhew was traced, and it turned out he had been questioned by the police in 1981 and cleared.
他坚称自己根本不认识艾伦、卡罗尔·摩根,也不认识玛格丽特·斯普纳。
He insisted that he did not know Allen or Carol Morgan or Margaret Spooner.
他在谋杀案发生五周后引起了警方注意,当时他和朋友因为拒付餐厅账单被逮捕。
He had come to the police's attention five weeks after the murder on September 25, when Mayhew and a friend had been arrested for failing to pay a restaurant bill.
他告诉警察,案发时他正和简·本廷以及她父亲一起看电视。
He told officers he had been watching television with Jane Bunting and her father at the time of Carol's murder.
警方认定他说的是实话,于是把他从嫌疑人名单中剔除了。
The police concluded that he was telling the truth and he was eliminated as a suspect.
冷案小组还重新审查了财务证据,并在警方面谈期间安排了秘密录音。
The cold case team also reexamined the financial evidence and arranged for covert recordings to be made during police interviews.
艾伦和玛格丽特·摩根多次被押送至警局接受讯问,艾伦·摩根说:‘对不起,我不想说,因为她们可能……’然后他就停住了。
Allen and Margaret Morgan were arrested and transported to and from the police station on multiple occasions between Allen Morgan said, I'm sorry, and I don't want to say anything because they might have He then trailed off.
我不知道。
I don't know.
不是我干的,我跟这事一点关系都没有。
It wasn't me, and I had nothing to do with it.
你后来搬去和一个新女人一起住了。
And you had a new woman that you moved in with.
你?
You?
玛格丽特。
Margaret.
是的。
Yeah.
我说的‘新’,其实是指你早就和她有关系了,现在终于可以光明正大地和她在一起,再也没了麻烦。
Oh, and I say new, someone that you'd already been having sex with, but now you could carry on a relationship with her without any complications at all.
你说过,警察根本没怀疑过你和这起案子有关。
You said the police weren't looking at you at you of being involved in this at all.
完全没关系。
Not nothing to do.
我不知道。
I don't know.
卡罗尔葬礼之后,你就一直没回去过墓地,继续过你的日子。
And that you after Carol's funeral, you just carried on, never went back to the cemetery.
是这样吗?
Is that right?
不是。
No.
在2019年他们被捕后,艾伦给玛格丽特的信里写道:信任是相互的。
In a letter from Allen to Margaret in 2019 following their arrest, he wrote, trust works on both sides.
如果我不信任你,你也不会在这儿,我也不会。
If I don't trust you, you wouldn't be here and I would not.
2021年7月1日,有人录到他问:你还爱我吗?
On 07/01/2021, he was recorded asking, do you still love me?
我永远都信任你。
And I trust you forever.
2023年7月25日,他说:‘对不起,我什么都没做。’玛格丽特回应:‘别再提这事了,他们可能在监听。’艾伦接着说:‘我真没做什么,我们俩都没做,我不知道他们到底掌握了什么。’
On 07/25/2023, he said, I'm sorry I haven't done anything Margaret responded stop going over it they are probably listening in Allen continued I ain't done nothing neither of us have I don't know what they have got.
玛格丽特回答:‘那他们肯定抓到什么把柄了。’
Margaret replied, Well, they must have something.
在接受审讯时,艾伦被问到卡罗尔遇害当晚他的行踪。
When he had been interviewed, Allen was asked about his actions on the night Carol was murdered.
你怎么知道我没干?
How did you know I didn't.
那场谋杀根本不是在那儿发生的?
That the murder wasn't in there?
我没干。
I didn't.
那你怎么知道孩子在楼上?
So why saw the kids upstairs?
你怎么确定凶手不在楼上?
How do you know the murderer isn't upstairs?
因为他们不想让孩子们待在楼下。
Because they didn't want the kids downstairs.
他们会开始的。
They'll start.
他们可以在楼上杀了狗,然后继续待在楼上陪着麦克斯。
They could kill the dog upstairs and still remain upstairs with Max.
我不知道。
I don't know.
那为什么去楼上呢?
So why saw the upstairs?
因为他们还没上床。
Because they haven't got in the bed.
我不知道。
I don't know.
是因为你知道那里没人吗?
Is it because you knew nobody was there?

不是。
No.
你早知道这事会发生?

不是。
No.
你知道他已经走了?
And you knew that he'd already gone?
计划是他们在他走后把门锁上。
The plan was they would lock up behind him.
你给了他们一把钥匙。
You give them a key.
是这样吗?
Was that?
这是那部电话?
Was this the phone?
没有。
No.
你来说。
You tell me.
我现在就告诉你。
I'm telling you now.
没有。
No.
我没做。
I did not do it.
看起来可能是这样,但我真没做。
It might look like that way, but I did not.
我没付过任何人钱。
I have not paid anybody.
我没做过这事。
I have not done it.

艾伦·摩根由科林·艾洛特·凯西辩护,玛格丽特·摩根由克莱尔·韦德·凯西辩护。
Allen Morgan was represented by Colin Aylot Casey, Margaret Morgan by Claire Wade Casey.
检察官在开场陈述中,详细阐述了控方的指控。
In his opening, the prosecutor set out the Crown's case.
卡罗尔·摩根的遇害绝非一时冲动。
The murder of Carol Morgan was no random attack.
这起谋杀是由被告两人精心策划并出资安排的。
It was planned and paid for by the two defendants in the dock.
如果她当年没被杀害,活到今天,她也该八十岁了。

告诉陪审团,检方的案件建立在一系列相互印证的事实之上。
Told the jury that the prosecution's case was built on a series of interlocking facts.
艾伦·摩根和当时还叫玛格丽特·斯普纳的人曾有过一段热烈的恋情,但两人在一起在经济上根本不可能。
Allen Morgan and Margaret Spooner as she was then had been involved in a passionate affair, but being together was financially impossible.
他们觉得离婚根本行不通。
Divorce, they thought, was not an option.
卡罗尔靠卖房子带来了资金,而艾伦·摩根根本养不起两个人。
Carol had brought the money in from selling her home, and Allen Morgan could not support them both.
检方声称,解决这个问题的办法,就是让卡罗尔死去。
The solution to that problem, the prosecution alleged, was Carol's death.
她的遗嘱把所有财产都留给了艾伦。
Her will left everything to Allen.
用来资助开店的六千英镑贷款,同时为卡罗尔和艾伦的生命投保了。
The £6,000 loan used to help purchase the shop was insured against both Carol's and Allen's lives.
根据检方的说法,卡罗尔一死,债务就清了,艾伦可以卖掉店铺,和玛格丽特开始新生活。
According to the prosecution, Carol's death would clear the debt, allowing Allen to sell the business and start a new life with Margaret.
关于财务证据,检方在庭上展示了被告在谋杀案发生前多次提取现金的记录。
Regarding the financial evidence, the numerous cash withdrawals made by the accused in the lead up to the murder were presented in court.
还有杀手所掌握的内部信息。
Also, there was the hitman's inside knowledge.
检方指出,抽屉里藏着的那个装置就是关键证据。
The prosecution pointed to the desk drawer with his concealed mechanism.
检察官问陪审团:一个随机闯入的人,怎么可能知道钱藏在哪,又怎么知道怎么打开?
The prosecutor asked the jury, how did a random intruder know where the money was and how to access it?
凶手在进入现场之前,就已经掌握了内部情况。
The killer had some inside information before entering the premises.
最合理的推断是,凶手是艾伦·摩根告诉了他现金的存放位置,这很可能就是他行凶的部分报酬。
The obvious conclusion was that the killer was told by Allen Morgan where he would find the cash, which may well have constituted part payment for the murder.
关于电影院的不在场证明,检方认为这次出行是故意安排的。
On the cinema alibi, the prosecution argued that the trip was made deliberately.
艾伦以前从没带孩子出去过,除非有卡罗尔陪着。

真巧,偏偏就在她被杀的那天晚上开始了。
How convenient it started the night she was murdered.

The same woman told the court she had seen Allen Morgan talking to this same man on at least two separate occasions around Leighton Buzzard.
卡罗尔的儿子迪恩通过视频连线作证。
Carol's son Dean gave evidence by video link.
他描述了案发当晚被派上楼去煮咖啡,西蒙狗在紧闭的门后呜咽,听见继父在打电话。他还确认,在2023年艾伦·摩根被起诉后,他们有过一次通话。
He described the night of the murder being sent upstairs to make coffee Simon the dog whimpering behind the closed door and hearing his stepfather run the phone He confirmed that they spoke after Allen Morgan was charged in 2023.
迪恩说,那次争吵越来越激烈,他直接挂断了我的电话。
Dean said, the argument became heated, and he put the phone down on me.
从那以后,我们再没说过话。
We have not spoken since.
卡罗尔的女儿简就艾伦和玛格丽特两人都作了证。
Carol's daughter Jane gave evidence about both Allen and Margaret.
她向法庭表示,她和玛格丽特的关系一直非常好。
She told the court that her relationship with Margaret had been excellent.
在辩护律师克莱尔·韦德·凯西的盘问下,得知玛格丽特曾在简生女儿时陪在产房里,还一直陪伴她度过艰难的分娩过程。
Under questioning from defense counsel Claire Wade Casey, it emerged that Margaret had been present in the delivery room when Jane gave birth to her daughter, and Margaret had supported her through a difficult labor.
这一细节公布后,简当场泪崩,法庭随即休庭。
After this was revealed, Jane broke down in tears, and the court was adjourned.
庭审恢复后,辩护律师进一步确认,玛格丽特在简复职后还帮忙照顾了她的婴儿。
When the hearing resumed, the defense barrister established that Margaret also helped care for Jane's baby after Jane returned to work.
克莱尔·韦德·凯西说,简和继母的关系一生都十分亲密。
Claire Wade Casey said Jane's relationship with her stepmother had remained close throughout her life.
此外,卡罗尔的第一任丈夫理查德·柯蒂斯也出庭作证,讲述了卡罗尔的出身和早年生活。
Furthermore, Carol Morgan's first husband, Richard Curtis, gave evidence about Carol's background and early life.

Michael Spooner revisited his marriage to Margaret, his discovery of the affair, the confrontation with his wife's lover Allen Morgan at the shop, and Margaret's subsequent cash withdrawals from their joint account.
他说,卡罗尔遇害时他非常震惊,还说:‘我当时就想,卡罗尔再也不会在了。’
He said he had been shocked when Carol was killed, adding: I was thinking now Carol was no longer there.
玛格丽特会抛下我,跟他走。
Margaret would leave me and go off with him.
关键证人简·本廷的证词占据了审判的很大一部分,双方律师都对此进行了激烈质疑。
Evidence from key witness Jane Bunting occupied a significant portion of the trial and was vigorously challenged by the barristers for both defendants.
代表艾伦·摩根的科林·艾洛特·凯西向简提出,那天在海豚酒吧的会面根本没发生过。
Colin Aylott Casey, representing Allen Morgan, put it to Jane that the meeting at the Dolphin pub had never happened.
他还指出,关于她前男友丹尼·梅休的过往犯罪记录,时间线上存在矛盾。
Also, he pointed to inconsistencies in the timeline around her former boyfriend, Danny Mayhew's prior convictions.
亨廷坚持自己的说法,强调事情确实发生过,尽管她记不清四十多年前的细节,而且她本来就讨厌艾伦·摩根。
Hunting maintained her account insisting that the events happened, even though she struggled to remember in precise detail something that occurred over forty years ago and the fact that she did not like Allen Morgan.
这件事困扰了我一辈子。
It's haunted me all my life.
我不是那种会凭空编造的人,除非真有人做了错事,哪怕我再讨厌他。
I'm not a person who would invent something if somebody didn't do anything wrong, no matter how much I dislike them.
简·本廷还解释说,她当年没向警方报案,是因为对玛格丽特 misguided 的忠诚。
Jane Bunting also explained that misguided loyalty to Margaret was why she had not told the police in 1981.
2021年2月7日玛格丽特·摩根接受警方讯问的录像被展示给了陪审团。
Footage from Margaret Morgan's police interview in 07/02/2021 was shown to the jury.
她否认自己参与了任何阴谋。
She denied her involvement in any conspiracy.
她提到自己曾在他送货途中与艾伦碰面。
She spoke about meeting Allen on his delivery rounds.
她还说,她和卡罗尔成了朋友,并帮她熟悉了当地环境。
She also said she had befriended Carol and helped introduce her to the local area.
当被问到是什么让他们维持了四十多年的婚姻时,她提到两人有共同的兴趣,比如打高尔夫,并说她一直照顾着艾伦。
When asked what had kept her and Allen together for over forty years, she described shared interests, including golf, and said she helped care for him.
在警方讯问中,侦探们暗示,他们之间的纽带是共同知晓卡罗尔·摩根遭遇了什么。
During the police interview, detectives suggested the bond was their shared knowledge of what had happened to Carol Morgan.
玛格丽特否认了这种说法,坚持称自己对这起案件的了解全部来自警方。
Margaret denied this was the case and insisted that the only information she knew about the crime came from the police.
尽管他们一直声称自己无罪,但艾伦和玛格丽特·摩根在庭审中都没有出庭作证。
Despite their insistence that they were innocent throughout their time in police custody, neither Allen nor Margaret Morgan gave evidence in the witness box.
在结案陈词中,艾伦·摩根的辩护律师科林·艾洛特·凯西对陪审团说,检方的指控不过是些基于最薄弱、最牵强证据的猜测,根本不像贝德福德郡的现实生活,倒像是好莱坞剧本。
In his closing speech, Allen Morgan's counsel, Colin Aylott Casey, told the jury that the prosecution's case was just theories based on the flimsiest and most tenuous of evidence, and said it was the stuff of Hollywood screenplays, not the Bedfordshire suburbs.
他形容关键证人简·本宁完全不可信,毫无可靠性可言。
He described key witness Jane Bunting as utterly discredited and incapable of belief.
经过合议后,陪审团退庭商议,最终一致作出了裁决。
After deliberations, the jury retired to make their decision and returned with unanimous verdicts.
当陪审团的裁决被宣读时,艾伦·摩根抬起头,盯着天花板。
As the jury's decisions were read aloud, Allen Morgan lifted his head to focus on the ceiling.
他被裁定犯有谋杀共谋罪。
He was found guilty of conspiracy to murder.
当玛格丽特·摩根的裁决宣布时,她摇了摇头。
When the verdict for Margaret Morgan was announced, she shook her head.
她在这项指控上被判定无罪。
She was found not guilty of the same charge.
玛格丽特离开法庭时,没有回头看她的丈夫。
As Margaret left the courtroom, she did not look back at her husband.
下午好。
Good afternoon.
我是卡尔·福斯特,警督,自2018年起一直担任此案的主责调查官。
I'm Carl Foster, detective superintendent, and I was the senior investigating officer for this investigation since 2018.
艾伦·摩根的行为给所有认识并深爱卡罗尔的人造成了无法挽回的伤害,而他却一直自由地享受着人生最美好的时光。
Allen Morgan's actions have caused irreparable damage to those who knew and loved Carol, and he has been able to freely enjoy life in his prime.
如今他将在监狱中度过晚年,终于要为夺走一条无辜生命付出代价。
Now facing his latter years in prison, he will finally pay the price for cutting short an innocent life.
我想向卡罗尔的孩子们致以敬意。
I would like to pay tribute to Carol's children.
没人能想象这件事对他们造成的冲击,还有那些在审判中深受影响的众多证人,他们都在43年之后勇敢站出来支持这次起诉。
Nobody can imagine the impact that this has had on them and our many witnesses whose lives have been rocked by this trial, all of whom bravely came forward 43 later to support this prosecution.
艾伦·摩根于2024年7月29日在卢顿王室法院由斯宾塞法官判处刑罚。
Allen Morgan was sentenced on 07/29/2024 at Luton Crown Court by mister justice Spencer.
艾伦·摩根,请暂时保持就座。
Allen Morgan, remain seated for the time being.
你因阴谋谋杀妻子卡罗尔·摩根而被判刑,她于1981年8月13日遭残忍杀害,距今将近四十三年了。
You fall to be sentenced for conspiracy to murder your wife, Carol Morgan, who was savagely killed on the 08/13/1981, almost forty three years ago.
法官考虑到艾伦已经74岁,健康状况也在衰退,将这些作为从轻情节。
The judge took into account Allen's age of 74 and declining health as mitigating factors.
他患有1型糖尿病,被诊断出患有痴呆和记忆力减退,一只眼睛失明,脊柱严重退化,生活需要他人协助。
He had type one diabetes, diagnosed dementia and memory loss, loss of vision in one eye, a crumbling spine, and was reliant on assistance.
在宣判时,斯宾塞法官表示:
In his sentencing remarks, mister justice Spencer stated
我明白,你在狱中的日子有多艰难,未来也只会更加艰难。
I understand how difficult it has been and will continue to be for you in prison.
我充分考虑了这些情况,同时也意识到,实际上你将余生都将在监狱中度过。
And I take all these matters into account and also the fact that in consequence, you will, in reality, be spending the rest of your life in prison.
法官指出的加重情节包括:预谋程度极高,利用看电影的机会把卡罗尔单独留在家,不明原因的大额取现,伪造入室抢劫的假象——甚至故意留下抽屉里的现金作为掩护;杀人动机纯粹为了钱财,袭击手段极其残忍,而且卡罗尔是在自己家中和经营场所遭到攻击的。
The aggravating features the judge identified included the exceptional degree of planning, the use of the cinema trip leaving Carol Morgan alone, the unexplained cash withdrawals, making the killing appear to be a burglary, including leaving cash in the desk drawer as part payment the fact that the killing was for financial gain the brutality of the attack and the fact that Carol was attacked in her own home and business.
随后,法官宣读了卡罗尔的表姐帕梅拉·史密斯和她女儿简的受害者陈述。
The judge then read victim personal statements from Carol's cousin Pamela Smith and her daughter Jane.
帕梅拉的陈述谈到了卡罗尔之死对父母造成的冲击,以及艾伦·摩根如何指使迪恩和简写信,切断与祖父母的联系。
Pamela's statement addressed the impact of Carol's death on her parents and the letters Allen Morgan had instructed Dean and Jane to write to cut off contact with their grandparents.
简的陈述则讲述了定罪如何改变了她对自己人生的认知。
Jane's statement addressed the impact of the conviction on her understanding of her own life.
我感觉自己的人生一直是个谎言,那些我最信任的人,可能早已背叛了这份信任。
It made me feel as though my life has been a lie and that the people that I trusted most in the world may have been capable of a terrible betrayal of that trust.
量刑前报告记录显示,艾伦·摩根始终没有表现出任何悔意,几十年来一直否认自己参与了这起谋杀。
The pre sentence report recorded that Allen Morgan had shown no remorse and continued to deny involvement with the murder over four decades earlier.
他唯一谈论的,是觉得自己在整个过程中受到了不公正的对待。
The only thing he spoke about was his belief that he had been treated poorly throughout the entire process.
量刑前报告的撰写者还提到,他在整个面谈中从未意识到自己的行为对他人造成的伤害,尤其是对他的第一任妻子和年幼的孩子们。
The pre sentence report's author also noted, throughout the interview, he failed to recognize the impact of his actions on others, particularly his first wife and her young children.
法官在总结发言时指出,艾伦·摩根至今仍未承认究竟是谁杀害了妻子,这个秘密他保守了整整四十年。
Concluding his remarks, the sentencing judge pointed out that Allen Morgan had still not admitted who exactly had killed his wife, a secret he continued to harbor for the last forty years.
法律终于找上了你,你必须为自己的罪行付出应有的代价。
The law has now caught up with you, and you must pay due punishment for your part in this crime.
但真正的凶手依然在逃,前提是他还活着。
But the murderer remains at large if indeed he is still alive.
法院判处了终身监禁。
A mandatory life sentence was imposed.
法官确定最低服刑期为二十二年,比艾伦已羁押的不到四十天还要长。
The judge set a minimum term of twenty two years, less than forty days Allen had already served on remand.
法庭旁听席上坐了二十到二十五人左右,都是专程来见证艾伦·摩根被判刑的。
Here in the courtroom, there were upwards of 20 to 25 people in the public gallery, all who had come to see Allen Morgan get his sentence.
艾伦·摩根本人穿着一件灰色T恤,时不时对某些发言摇头表示不满。
Now mister Morgan himself could be seen wearing a gray t shirt, occasionally shaking his head at some of the statements being made.
但当他被判刑时,旁听席上有人落泪,也有人露出如释重负的笑容,尤其是一声清晰的‘对’响彻法庭——那是卡罗尔·摩根的前夫、孩子们的父亲理查德·柯蒂斯发出的。
But when he was given his sentence, there were tears and smiles of relief within the public gallery, most notably a cheer of yes that echoed through the courtroom, and that was from Carol Morgan's former husband, Richard Curtis, and the father of their children.
他显得如释重负,眼里还噙着泪水。
He was a very relieved man, and he still had tears in his eyes.
那么,我们现在的情况如何?
So where are we now?
2024年8月,艾伦·摩根的律师宣布计划对他的定罪提出上诉。
In August 2024, counsel for Allen Morgan announced plans to appeal against his conviction.
同年10月,贝德福德郡警方的一名侦探登上BBC的《犯罪现场直播》节目,呼吁公众提供有关这名身份不明的杀手的线索。
In October of that year, a detective from Bedfordshire Police appeared on BBC's Crimewatch Live to appeal for new information about the unidentified hitman.
理查德·斯托茨警长表示:如果这名杀手还活着,他可能住在任何地方,或许在日常生活中无意中透露过一些可疑的细节。
Detective Inspector Richard Stoats said: This killer, if still alive, could be living anywhere and may have talked about details in their life which potentially are suspicious.
作案时使用的暴力程度非常罕见。
The level of violence used was really unusual.
警方确认,1981年案发现场提取到的一枚不明指纹至今仍保存着。
Police confirmed they still held an unidentified fingerprint recovered from the scene in 1981.
调查人员相信,这枚指纹很可能属于实施谋杀的人。
Detectives believed the print could belong to the person who carried out the killing.
警方呼吁曾在上世纪80年代初经常出入林斯莱德、莱顿斯伯里和邓斯特布尔地区酒吧的人前来提供信息,包括海豚酒吧、船屋酒吧、马车与马匹酒吧和烟斗酒吧。
They asked anyone who had frequented pubs in the Linslaid, Leighton Buzzard, and Dunstable area in the early eighties, including the Dolphin, the ship, the wagon and horses, and the clay pipe to come forward with any information.
到2025年2月,深度参与此次重新调查的卡尔警监已经退休。
By February 2025, Detective Superintendent Carl who had been heavily involved in the reinvestigation, had retired.
他原本打算早点退下来,但为了把这场官司看到最后,还是推迟了退休。
He had planned to step back earlier but delayed his retirement to see the court case through to its conclusion.
他对记者说:我们不会放弃。
He told a reporter for the We won't give up.
我们不会说抓到一个人定罪就完事了。
We won't say we got one person convicted and that's it.
其中一条调查方向就是艾伦·摩根本人——如果他愿意跟我们谈,告诉我们他雇了谁、谁杀了卡罗尔。
One of those lines of inquiry will be Allen Morgan himself if he wants to talk to us and tell us who he hired and who killed Carol.
福斯特说,这项调查跨越了几十年,涉及好几代警员,是我这辈子办过时间最长、最艰难的案子。
Foster described the investigation, which had spanned over decades and involved multiple generations of officers, as the longest running and most challenging investigation that I ever ran.
卡罗尔·摩根被杀已经四十多年了,当年动手的人至今仍逍遥法外。
More than forty years after Carol Morgan was killed, the person who carried out the attack still remains free.
在1981年那个夏天留下的那枚无名指纹,其主人此刻或许就藏在某处,连身边人都毫不知情。
Somewhere, perhaps unknown to those around them, is the owner of an unidentified fingerprint left behind in the summer of nineteen eighty one.
