Stephen Lawrence’s dad breaks down and says he’ll ‘never stop fighting for justice’ as brother says: ‘Time to speak up’
STEPHEN Lawrence's dad today broke down as he vowed to never stop "fighting for justice" after his slain son's murder probe was shelved.
Scotland Yard say they have no further lines of inquiry to follow up over Stephen's killing in 1993 - with brother Stuart now urging witnesses to come forward and give the family "closure".
Stephen was stabbed to death at a bus stop in Eltham, South London in a sickening racist slaughter that shocked the nation.
His parents were then forced to wait 19 years to see two men – Gary Dobson and David Norris - finally caged over the 1993 murder.
But three others named as suspects were never convicted.
Stephen's dad Dr Neville Lawrence today broke down as he said he will never give up fighting for his son.
While Luke Knight is still living in Eltham less than three miles from where 18-year-old Stephen was stabbed to death.
Met chief Dame Cressida Dick has said the investigation was moving into what she called “the inactive phase” but will be reviewed “periodically”.
She added: “It is well known other suspects were also involved in the events that night and it is deeply frustrating we have been unable to bring them to justice.”
