An independent police force will review the Metropolitan Police's investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
An independent police force will review the Metropolitan Police's investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence. It follows calls by Stephen's mother, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, for the inquiry to be relaunched. On Monday, the Met Police Commissioner apologised to Stephen's mother for not fulfilling a promise to answer questions stemming from a BBC investigation into his murder.
Last June, the BBC named White, who died aged 50 in 2021, and outlined the bungled handling of the evidence against him.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.
