The father of Stephen Lawrence has vowed to face his killers at their parole hearings, and will push for them to remain in jail if they will not to admit their guilt.
Five men were arrested over the racist murder of 18-year-old Stephen, who was stabbed to death in Eltham, south-east London, on April 22, 1993.Both were given life sentences in 2012 after being found guilty of murder.
"No one is taking any notice of what we’re saying, they haven’t been for 30 years, so why would I even bother? I don’t want to meet him," he explained. The report appeared to confirm fears that little has changed within the force since the 1999 Mcpherson study found that the force was "institutionally racist", and that racism was an important factor in the failure of the Met investigation.
Following Stephen's murder, police failed to arrest those suspected of killing him, despite having their names within hours of the attack.
