One of Stephen Lawrence’s killers is now set to have his parole hearing held in public – and it’s already causing shockwaves. David Norris, now 48, was one of just two men ever jailed for the brutal racist murder of the 18-year-old, and his minimum sentence ran out back in December. He’s now being considered for release on licence.
Norris, who along with Gary Dobson was convicted in 2012 nearly two decades after the attack, had always denied being involved. But now, according to the Parole Board, he’s apparently changed his story.
