Stephen Lawrence deserves justice, and we won’t stop fighting for it

31 years after Stephen Lawrence was brutally murdered, a review has concluded that the four detectives who ran the initial investigation should not face criminal charges. Former Met superintendent Leroy Logan explains why he won’t stop fighting for justice

In 1993, 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence was stabbed to death at a bus stop in Eltham, south London, in a racially motivated attack. His friend, Duwayne Brooks, survived. In the three decades since, the Metropolitan Police has faced multiple accusations of mishandling the initial investigation and attempting to cover up the corruption, incompetence and racism of the officers involved.
