The Daily Mirror says Stephen Lawrence’s father, Neville Lawrence, has warned his racist killers that he will fight to keep them in jail if they do not admit their guilt.
In an interview, the 81-year-old says it’s “essential” Gary Dobson and David Norris say the words: “Yes, I murdered Stephen Lawrence” before they are freed back into society.
Gary Dobson and David Norris, who were both convicted of murder after an Old Bailey trial, face parole hearings, says the paper. Mr Lawrence adds he intends to face his son’s killers at their parole hearings, where he will read a victim impact statement.
