The friend who was with Stephen Lawrence when the black teenager was murdered by a racist gang has called for a new Scotland Yard review of the crime to “get to the bottom” of why the killers were never brought to justice.
Duwayne Brooks, the surviving victim of the racist attack at a bus stop in Eltham in April 1993 in which 18-year-old Stephen was fatally stabbed, said he believed that “serious” errors were still being made by the Met after its decision to close the investigation.
