Mr Lawrence was murdered by a gang of racists in Eltham, south-east London, in April 1993 as he ran to catch a bus with his friend Duwayne Brooks.A spokesperson for the Met said: “While we have not identified any additional viable lines of inquiry, recognising the concerns held by Baroness Lawrence and the significance of this investigation we will be asking an outside force to review our approach.
Last June, the BBC named White, who died aged 50 in 2021, and outlined the bungled handling of evidence against him. Sir Mark said: “We recognise this is a particularly difficult time for the Lawrence family and Duwayne Brooks. I am sorry our failure to respond in a timely fashion has added to this.“Restoring trust in the Met is one of my top priorities and that includes how we work with those affected by the failures of the past.
