Mayor calls for sanctions against police responsible for Lawrence ‘failings’

Sadiq Khan says any police officer proved to have committed misconduct during the investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence should face severe sanctions.

The mayor of London says, "any officer who was responsible for these failings should have action taken against them." Stephen was 18 when he was murdered by a group of five or six racist attackers in Eltham, south-east London, in April 1993.

His mother has expressed fury that no police officers have faced action over the bungled handling of information about a sixth suspect in her son's murder.
