The following is an extract from The Stephen Lawrence Inquiry Report (commonly known as the MacPherson Report after Sir William MacPherson of Cluny, who led the inquiry).
The Inquiry came into existence because of explicit complaints and serious unease about the conduct by individual officers and the MPS itself of the investigation of Stephen Lawrence’s murder.
Duwayne survived but was traumatized by the ordeal and the treatment that he received at the hands of London’s Metropolitan Police and the media thereafter.
