Sidney Cooke

Sidney Charles Cooke (born 18 April 1927) is an English convicted child molester, murderer and suspected serial killer and serial rapist. He is serving two life sentences. He was the leader of a child sex ring suspected of up to twenty child murders of young boys in the 1970s and 1980s. Cooke is suspected by police of killing the three boys with the ring; he was named by gang member Leslie Bailey as the killer of Mark Tildesley in 1984 when Bailey confessed to the murder. Cooke was nicknamed Hissing Sid, and was called the "Britain's most notorious paedophile".
