Stephen Lawrence murder: ‘It’s made a mockery of justice’ Ex-top cop Leroy Logan says the four suspects who have never been held to account are laughing at the criminal justice system by LeahMahon_
THE NAMING of a sixth suspect almost 30 years after the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence has made a “mockery of justice,” an ex-top cop has said.that he doubts change in the scandal-ridden force will take place and that the Lawrence family will finally have justice since their son was stabbed in south-east London in April 1993.in the tragic case that has dogged Britain’s biggest police force.
Following Stephen’s murder, a relative of White has spoken to the police and said believed a relative of his had been present on the day the 18-year-old he was stabbed. “When Cressida Dick declared the Lawrence case was not going to be investigated and everyone knew that she didn’t need to do that. She needs to understand the importance of that case for the Black community and the wider public,” he said.
George said Dick’s decision to close the case now means she has “a lot of questions to answer” and that “anybody that has failed to do their job or covered anything up” needs to be held responsible.
