18 years after the tragic, racially motivated murder of Stephen Lawrence in Eltham South West London, justice has finally been served. The accused: Gary Dobson and David Norris were found guilty of stabbing Stephen to death at a bus stop in an unprovoked attack that has taken almost two decades to be resolved.
Evidence: *la*hd-stained jacket
Forensic evidence played a huge part in the conviction of the two men, after a speck of *la*hd on Dobsons jacket, which could have only been from Mr. Lawrence linked them to the murder. Additionally a single hair belonging to the teenager helped place the two men, now in their 30s at the scene of the murder.
Stephens parents Doreen and Neville wept as the guilty verdict was announced earlier today, having fought for justice for their son tirelessly. In an interview with BBCs Panorama Doreen Lawrence said, I dont forgive the boys who killed Stephen. They dont think they have done anything wrong. In a statement issued by his lawyer following the verdict Neville Lawrence asserted he would not rest until all those who were involved in his sons murder were brought to justice.
