The mother of Stephen Lawrence has said she feels like "a victim all over again" after she learned about the alleged hacking of her phone by the Daily Mail, a court has heard. Baroness Doreen Lawrence, who says her phone was tapped and voicemails hacked, said the alleged actions of the newspaper reminded her of the police handling of the investigation into the racist murder of her son. She told the High Court the Mail was only "pretending" to support her campaign for justice for the "credibility of supporting a black family". The peer is among several high-profile figures - including the Duke of Sussex - suing the paper's publisher, Associated Newspapers (ANL).

He sought release during a parole hearing in October, having been jailed in 2012. Stephen, 18, was stabbed to death in a racist attack in south London in 1993. Only two of his killers have been convicted, with police always saying six people were involved. At the parole hearing, Norris admitted he was part of the attack but refused to name the other killers.
