—— of the murder of stephen lawrence.s waiting for a bus with a friend in south london when he was set upon by a gang of young white men. police always said there were six attackers and stephen was stabbed to death. it was a completely unprovoked, racist attack. the earlier investigation as everyone except now, was a disaster, didn't bring anyone to justice. there was a long campaign for justice by stephen's family. his parents, baroness doreen lawrence and doctor neville lawrence, became really well—known figures in the uk for their campaign really well—known figures in the uk fortheir campaign and really well—known figures in the uk for their campaign and there has been a number of different police investigations, a number of different official inquiries, an inquest, that have looked at the case. it has become a really well—known case in this country. we had an investigation ourselves, i did, week at the bbc into elements of the first investigation and failures in the first investigation. it's become probably the most n

this decision today will make any difference to the reputation of the met in relation to the stephen lawrence every time there is a development in the case or it comes back into the news, it reminds us alljust how terrible that initial investigation was and how they failed stephen's family. two people have been convicted, we know that there were probably four other people in the group that attacked stephen and his friend. they haven't been brought to justice. that's because of the failings in the initial investigation. it's a reminder of that that i don't think these events will make any tangible difference to the met in that sense. it does raise questions, however, about the length of this misconduct investigation. the national crime agency started looking into these matters back in 201a, 201a! that's nine years ago. their investigation took until 2020 before they passed a file of evidence to the crown prosecution service. we should ask the question, why has it taken them so long? was it worth all that public money? i think there are some very serious questions to ask about the handling of t
