Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has now issued an apology
The Metropolitan Police Commissioner has apologised to the mother of Stephen Lawrence for not fulfilling a promise to answer questions stemming from a BBC investigation into the murder of the 18-year-old. The broadcaster says Baroness Doreen Lawrence was promised an explanation after the BBC last year named Matthew White as the sixth suspect in the case.
Mr Lawrence was murdered by a gang of racists in Eltham, south-east London, in April 1993, as he ran to catch a bus with his friend Duwayne Brooks. Only two of his killers – Gary Dobson and David Norris – have ever been brought to justice. Two witnesses said White had confessed to being present during the attack, one of whom, his stepfather, was not spoken to by police until 20 years after the murder because officers had previously misidentified him. The Met said White was arrested twice in connection with the murder, but on both occasions there was not enough evidence for a prosecution.
