New Stephen Lawrence suspect named as Met Police makes rare decision for racist murder

A new suspect has been named in the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence after police admitted "many mistakes" were made in the initial investigation.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed that Matthew White, who died in 2015 at the age of 50, was a major suspect at the time following the killing in Eltham, south east London in April 1993.

The 18-year-old was killed at a bus stop while trying to go home with friend Duwayne Brooks, who said six assailants surrounded Stephen and stabbed him repeatedly before running off.
