Call for Stephen Lawrence corruption inquiry

The mother of murdered London teenager Stephen Lawrence wants the Home Office to reopen an inquiry into police handling of the case.

Doreen Lawrence has written to the Home Secretary about her concerns that the initial 1993 investigation involved corrupt police.

Gary Dobson and David Norris were convicted of the murder in January, 18 years after the fatal stabbing.

A previous inquiry concluded there was no evidence of corruption.

Tom Symonds reports.
