Killing of Jo Cox
On 16 June 2016, Jo Cox, the British Labour Party Member of Parliament for Batley and Spen, died after being shot and stabbed multiple times in Birstall, West Yorkshire, England, shortly before she was due to hold a constituency surgery. A 52-year-old local man, Thomas Mair, was arrested in connection with Cox's death and subsequently charged with her murder and other offences. The incident was the first killing of a sitting British MP since the death of Ian Gow in 1990, and the first in which the victim was a woman or a member of the Labour Party.
