US EditionStephen Lawrence killer David Norris denied parole
David Norris was denied parole due to ongoing public risk, prison misconduct, and refusal to identify other attackers in the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence, the Parole Board said.
- Earlier this month, David Norris, one of Stephen Lawrence's killers, was denied parole after a public parole hearing where he admitted involvement.
- The Justice Secretary opposed his release and the hearing heard evidence of Norris's in-prison conduct, including racist language and alleged grooming, while he refused to name other attackers.
- The 1993 murder left Stephen Lawrence, aged 18, dead in a racist attack; only two of the killers have been convicted and police say six people were involved.
- Stephen's mother Baroness Doreen Lawrence called Norris a `coward` and `liar` after the two-day, live-streamed hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice and urged the Metropolitan Police to act as they remain committed to pursuing arrests.
- With several suspects unprosecuted, Norris first confessed to a Catholic priest in 2018, but the family discovery earlier this year revealed this; Jamie and Neil Acourt were jailed for unrelated offences, Luke Knight remains free, and Matthew White was named suspect after his 2021 death.
