Killer's Parole Hearing

ONE of Stephen Lawrence's killers is to face a parole hearing in 2025, the Parole Board has confirmed.

- 

David Norris, 48, could face a hearing as early as May this year, but a date is yet to be set.

Mr Lawrence, 18, was murdered by a gang of racists in south-east London in 1993, but only two of his killers have faced justice - Gary Dobson and Norris were jailed for life in 2012.

The original police investigation into the 18-year-old's death was marred by institutional racism in the Met, incompetence and alleged corruption.

Norris was jailed for a minimum of 14 years and three months for murder in January 2012 at the end of an Old Bailey trial that hinged on tiny traces of forensic evidence.
