Stephen Lawrence Murder: How To Crack A Cold Case | The Crime Agents

Britain was changed forever by the murder of Stephen Lawrence in South East London in April 1993. What followed was a story of police incompetence and, eventually, a cold case that was cracked and which led to murder convictions for two of the original five suspects. In this episode, Andy & Neil explain how cold cases work, and Neil reveals the personal involvement he had in helping to convict David Norris and Gary Dobson of Stephen Lawrence's murder. They also explain how developments in forensics and the abolition of the 'double jeopardy' law played a vital role in bringing two of Stephen's killers to justice, and Neil gives his view on whether any of the other murderers are ever likely to see the inside of a prison cell for their part in what happened in Eltham 33 years ago. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more content, please follow us: Watch us: /    / @thecrimeagents   Instagram:   / thecrimeagents   X: https://x.com/thecrimeagents Facebook:   / 61577363725141   BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thecrimeagen...
