Tell the whole truth about my Stephen's murder so others can face justice

STEPHEN Lawrence's dad believes one of his son's killers "holds the key" to nailing the rest after he finally confessed to being involved in the murder.

Neville Lawrence, 83, is preparing to watch David Norris, 48, give evidence at his public parole hearing later this month.

It was revealed in March that Norris admitted for the first time in 32 years to being in the gang of six youths that killed Stephen while shouting: "What, what n*****?".

He had previously always denied having anything to do with the knife attack on the 18-year-old student at a bus stop in Eltham, London, on April 22, 1993. Neville said: "I just hope that whatever he says can be used as evidence against the rest.

"My message would be, 'You have served so many years in prison, you've known what you did was wrong and refused to give the information in the early days about all the other boys that were involved.

"I need you to say exactly who was there with you that night because we now know that you were there'.

"I want to hear if he is genuinely sorry about what he did and his part in taking my son's life. I want to hear the reason he gives."

The Lawrence family fought for justice after they were repeatedly failed by London's Metropolitan Police, who bungled the investigation and spied on their campaign.
