A relative of the man named as the sixth attacker in the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence has told how police failed to turn up to a meeting with the suspect, in a potentially vital failure in the battle to bring the killers to justice.
Carol Severs said her late husband Jack, the stepfather of Matthew White, who the Met confirmed yesterday was a suspect in the case, had told her about the planned meeting before his death in 2020. She said it had been arranged after White told her husband about what had happened on the night in April 1993 that Stephen was killed.
