'I have got used to the litany of failings in my son’s case': Mother of Stephen Lawrence calls for 'serious sanctions' against officers in son's murder case
Baroness Lawrence has urged the Met to show that "incompetence will not be tolerated" in the force after a sixth suspect was named in the murder case of her son Stephen Lawrence.It comes after a sixth suspect was named as Matthew White, who died in August 2021, in the case of Stephen Lawrence's murder.
"What is infuriating about this latest revelation is that the man who is said to have led the murderous attack on my son has evaded justice because of police failures and yet not a single police officer has faced or will ever face action. Matthew White first came to police attention as a witness in the same year of Mr Lawrence's death - he told officers he had visited the home address of two other suspects on the night of Stephen's murder.
On both occasions the Crown Prosecution Service advised there was no realistic prospect of conviction of White for any offence.New suspect in Stephen Lawrence case 30 years on as police admit 'too many mistakes' were made in initial investigationSpeaking to LBC's Nick Ferrari, Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said the force would "review" the information that has surfaced.
