Doreen Lawrence hopes review will lead to inquiry
Doreen Lawrence says she hopes the review of the original police investigation into her son Stephen's murder 18 years ago in south London, ordered by the home secretary, will "open the door into an inquiry."
It is almost six months since Gary Dobson and David Norris were convicted of the murder of 18-year-old Stephen. But Doreen Lawrence said it still had not properly sunk in that people had finally faced justice over her son's murder.
