Stephen Lawrence: The 6th Suspect


Listen Later

How the BBC uncovered a new suspect in the Stephen Lawrence murder.

Adam speaks to home affairs correspondent Daniel De Simone who has spent the last two years looking into the police investigation into the 1993 murder of Stephen Lawrence - the UK's most notorious racist killing. Daniel’s investigation has for the first time named a major suspect in the case.

We also hear from former BBC correspondent, Danny Shaw, who has reported on the story and the subsequent inquiry, investigations and trials over the last 30 years. And Jane Deighton, the lawyer for Duwayne Brooks, who was with his friend Stephen on the night of the attack talks about the toll it’s taken on her client.
