Stephen Lawrence Murder 1993


Stephen lawrence before he died. he was a very bright and talented young man  

Stephen Lawrence was born on the (13th of September, 1974- at the Greenwich district hospital, London England.

Lawrence was murdered but the public believed that the outcome to this tragic case was a shock for all of the western world. There were feelings of remorse and heart break expressed by the public, because there was a clear indication of racism that still exists today. People believed that racism is existent today which was sad.

As a very young child, Stephen demonstrated an interest in art: he always loved to draw and paint. He was a very keen learner: he was good at most academic subjects at school, but he was at his best when he was doing art and maths.
As well as his very keen interest in design, he was also a young businessman, he had set up his own business with his best friend. He even worked as a film extra alongside Denzel Washington in the film “For Queen and country”.
Lawrence decided to use all of his different skills and qualities, talents in art and design, to aim for his potential university place studying what he enjoyed which was architecture, and this was the thing he was most passionate about in the whole wide world. All of this was leading up to bright G.C.S.E results. His caring, loving and supporting family found him work experience, with the most famous architect, Arthur Timothy’s well know practice.

The case of his death had become a cause of destruction and it was one of the highest profile racial killings in the United Kingdom’s history. Its fall out had included a very profound difference in culture changes to all attitudes on racism and defining of the police practice.
The two perpetrators were almost convicted 20 years later in the year of 2012, and this is a probable cause for the Lawrence’s family still trying to deal with Stephen’s death and racism in the United Kingdom.

Yes, the world has dealt with Stephen’s death in its own way, and this also means that the world is still living on Stephen’s memory and before he was murdered in April 1993.
Talented Stephen had been murdered on the 22nd of April, 1993 at the age of 18.
The Lawrence family are stilling trying to come to terms with young Stephen’s death. This also shows that the killers of this very important young man, who had a very bright future ahead of him, was victimised because he was a black teenager.
The Lawrence family re still trying to fight for justice over Stephen’s death. Although the killers of Stephen were sent to jail in the year of 2012, the parents and family of young Stephen Lawrence still have not been brought to justice.

Evidence had stated throughout the Stephen Lawrence murder trial that the killers had seemed like they did not care about what they were doing whilst callously killing and also victimising young Stephen. The Lawrence case has received a lot of publicity, when the case had fist started in the 1990s and until now.

Stephen’s parents had a confused reaction into why Stephen had been murdered. Doreen and Neville both believed that the attack against their son Stephen should not have been committed because Stephen was out with a few friends and was not doing anything wrong. 

Dobson and Norris were both found guilty of young Stephen’s murder who they had victimised when they 
racially attacked him. Both killers were sentenced on the 4th of January, 2012 to detention at her majesty’s pleasure after a court hearing. After being sentenced they both tried repeatedly tried to appeal against their sentence.
    
The Lawrence family believe that Stephen’s killers Dobson and Norris have served their time in from the murder of Stephen Lawrence who was only 18 when he was murdered.
Furthermore there was a greater reaction from the press and Stephen Lawrence’s family and friends who were very close with him whilst he was younger, and at the time of his murder. And during the time of Stephen’s murder the Lawrence family had to sit and watch the trial to find out the outcome of what happened. 
Stephen’s killers Dobson and norris is had done on the night of the 22nd of April,1993.
The Lawrence family’s reaction to Stephen’s death was very strong.
The Lawrence family lost a valued member of its family. 
Stephen was a much respected young man. The parents of the young Stephen were worried and confused about why Stephen was murdered.

The trial had affected the Lawrence family in a very emotional way because they had become face to face with Stephen’s killers, and this, had made Doreen and Neville Lawrence angry  and confused and even very upset because of the way their son Stephen had been taken away from them at the young age of 18.
Stephen’s killers Dobson and Norris and the other suspects whilst in court had not shown any remorse for killing young Stephen.

In conclusion, Stephen Lawrence’s murder had impacted so many people in and around the United Kingdom and Jamaica, where young Stephen’s family had grown up. 
Stephen had visited Jamaica many times throughout his life, and after Stephen had died. His body had been buried in Jamaica because this is where his parents Doreen and Neville Lawrence wanted to put their son’s body to rest.

During the time Stephen Lawrence was murdered the police had co-corrupted during the time of the investigation. And this had shown through different cases even after Stephen Lawrence was murdered. 

The other cases that the police had corrupt, and the person who was also killed in the same ways as Stephen Lawrence was Daniel Morgan, who was killed by an axe outside a pub in 1987. 

In both cases the cops had been corrupted in many different parts of these cases. 
All of these police officers had been arrested and sent to jail for perverting the cause of justice in these two cases, the Stephen Lawrence murder trial, 1993, and the Daniel Morgan murder case 1987.
