Four retired police officers who were involved in the original murder investigation of Stephen Lawrence's death in a racist attack back in 1993 will not face criminal charges for their handling of the case.
IOPC director Sarah Green said: ‘It was important that we follow all possible lines of inquiry in order to determine whether corruption played a part in the well-documented failings of the original investigation into Stephen’s murder and the attack on Duwayne Brooks.
‘At its peak, 50 NCA investigators and support workers were solely dedicated to uncovering whether corruption played a role in the first investigation into Stephen’s murder. This has been an exhaustive investigation and we are satisfied that the NCA has explored every possible avenue.
