In this six-part podcast, acclaimed Daily Mail crime writer Stephen Wright revisits a case he has covered for almost three decades, speaking to eyewitnesses, politicians and the police who investigated the case. Could there be more convictions? And in a year of Black Lives Matter protests, have we learned the lessons of Stephen's murder?
