Stephen Lawrence was brutally
murdered on Thursday 22.04.93 in an obviously cowardly,
unprovoked racist attack in Eltham, South East London, UK.
He was twice viciously
stabbed and
left to die in the street.
He was black.
His attackers were white. Despite prolonged
investigations, an
aborted public prosecution and an
attempted private prosecution,
no one has been convicted of his murder or of any involvement in the
attack on him.
It must be devastating for his family - but also a matter for real
public concern that murderers escape punishment and
are free to kill again - or are free at all.
