Lawrence verdict - MPA statement

3 January 2012

"All unsolved murders leave an open wound and are an affront to justice. The brutal killing of Stephen Lawrence was a particularly painful wound, for London and for his family. That his parents, Doreen and Neville, had to wage such a long and determined battle for justice is a matter of regret, but today's verdicts are a vindication for them, and a tribute to the diligence of the investigatory team at the Met and their CPS colleagues."
