It was June the 2nd 1994, a summer\u2019s evening in Kirkwall, Orkney.\nWaiter, 26-year-old Bangladeshi national, Shamol Mahmood, clocked in for his second shift that season. Little did he know, that this would be his last night alive.\nAs Shamol was serving his customers, a masked gunman walked into the restaurant, pointed a pistol at his head and shot him point-blank.\nIt would take more than a decade to solve this case, which police referred to as the 1000-piece puzzle.\nAnd even after they arrested a man for this senseless crime, the residents of Orkney were still divided: was he really the killer?\nFor pictures and more information, join us on Facebook\n\nWant to support the show?
