Stephen Lawrence killer ‘accepts involvement in attack’ – Parole Board
David Norris was jailed for life with a minimum term of 14 years and three months in January 2012 for the 18-year-old’s murder.
Reports suggest that one of Stephen Lawrence’s killers now accepts being involved in assaulting the teenager, the Parole Board has said.
Mr Lawrence, 18, was murdered by a gang of racists in south-east London in 1993, but only two of his killers have faced justice – Gary Dobson and David Norris were jailed for life in 2012.
The original police investigation into the teenager’s death was marred by institutional racism in the Met, incompetence and alleged corruption.
Norris, 48, was jailed for a minimum of 14 years and three months for murder in January 2012 at the end of an Old Bailey trial that hinged on tiny traces of forensic evidence.
