I’ve no anger, says Lawrence’s brother

The brother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence has spoken of the night the youth died and how he stood at the police cordon with no idea that his elder sibling had been killed behind it.

Stuart Lawrence said he tries not to think about his brother’s attackers.

He said in an interview he had no feelings towards them, adding “anger and hate are wasted emotions”.

“They have to live with what they have done, that is what’s eating them up inside and will continue to do so,” he said.

Gary Dobson, 36, who is already serving a five-year sentence for drug-dealing, was sentenced to at least 15 years and two months at the Old Bailey on Wednesday for the murder of 18-year-old Stephen in 1993.

David Norris, 35, was given a minimum of 14 years and three months for the murder, which the judge said was a “terrible and evil crime”.
