My thoughts are with the Lawrence family ... your dignity throughout this injustice has been most admirable .

But yet can continue to spend millions on looking for madline mcann 🤔

Aren’t four of original suspects behind bars ? Think it’s only Luke Knight that is not in jail. Would like to see a conviction for the Jill Dando case, although it was very late at least 2 of the 5 original suspects were convicted.

The whole saga looks like something along the lines of ' Line of Duty' jed Mercurios master piece. Yes ?

Keep on stirring the pot

There should be no hierarchy of victims. All lives matter.

I thought they had got the cretinous thugs.

A very sad day 😢 How can we allow racist murders walk freely on our streets? 😡 Keep fighting DLawrenceOBE ❤️

Just another shit stirring story to create more racial tensions

Maximum corruption to the top all the way down Total whitewash bleached inquiry And one the worst police investigations in history of course they want to close it because they knew the truth from 1993 Disgraceful 🐷🐷🐷🐷 Police NoJusticeNoPeace ✊🏾

A white cop called Clive Driscoll was heavily involved in bringing 2 of the stephenlawrence killers to justice. There just wasn’t enough evidence against the rest of the suspects.

Angry & pissed off. There is suggestion on social media that the Met have done this as 'punishment' for the justifiable racism criticism of Met officers. Investigation into the racist killing of Stephen Lawrence should remain open forever as a reminder of the evil that is racism.

We all know who did it.

Doreen done rather well out of all this aint she?

Take your time

It's a very painful case. Today, I pray quietly alone for people like him. Also tell the person who killed him. You have already locked on. I will move you 5 cm in a prayer of intense anger. Another cold case has been added...Amen

What a disgrace ......

They know exactly who did it but met were paid off years ago by there famalies

I can't believe so many of them got away with it, and all because the police assumed the bright young student must have been in a gang and crossed the wrong person and that nobody would really miss him. Appalling.

Waits for the Race card .

Ok... now do the same for Madeline McCann then

Only 2 were charged and they only got 14 and 15 years for murder, after 20 years of evading justice

My sister in law older brother murdered on the same day. After a rather lacklustre investigation... nothing! No anniversaries for him in the public eye, no memorial to him...

Wtf

because he's black. Any chance of ye reopening other white cases?

Waiting for the people to judge this entire story on his skin colour and then speak about racism...

when will this happen to the Maddie McCann case?
