OFFICERS DENY RACISM IN LAWRENCE PROBE
The Metropolitan Police has denied that
corruption or racism influenced the
investigation of the murder of the
black teenager, Stephen Lawrence.
The rebuttal follows yesterday's attack
on the force at the public inquiry into
the teenager's death.
Michael Mansfield QC, for the family,
said racism hampered the 1993
investigation from the start.
Officers have admitted, however, that
they made serious mistakes.
