"It's important for me because of what these people have done, he said. They ruined my life. They've caused me not to be able to live in this country. They've robbed me of the chance of seeing my son getting married, of having (his) grandchildren. This man has robbed me of so much that there is no way I can even start to think that he should be allowed to walk free."
"Police believe Stephen was killed by a gang of up to six people in Eltham, south-east London, two of whom have been brought to justice Norris and Gary Dobson. The pair were found guilty by a jury at the Old Bailey on the basis of tiny forensic traces gathered using cutting-edge techniques. The other suspects in the case were Jamie and Neil Acourt, who have since been convicted of unrelated drug offences, and Luke Knight. A sixth suspect"
Neville Lawrence, 83, demands that David Norris name other members of the gang who murdered Stephen Lawrence before Norris is considered for parole. Norris, 49, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 14 years and three months in January 2012 after being convicted alongside Gary Dobson. A parole hearing will be livestreamed by video to a courtroom at the Royal Courts of Justice, with Norris visible only from the back of his head. Permission for a public hearing followed a media application backed by Stephen's parents. Norris accepts he was present but says he punched Stephen and did not stab him. Police believe up to six people were involved; Jamie and Neil Acourt and Luke Knight are named, with a sixth suspect noted.
