The Metropolitan Police's handling of new evidence in the Stephen Lawrence murder case will be reviewed by an independent police force. This decision follows criticism and calls for transparency in the investigation, including from London Mayor Sadiq Khan and the Lawrence family, Doreen and Neville Lawrence. The review aims to address concerns raised about the Met Police's commitment to fully investigating the case, which has seen renewed attention on Stephen Lawrence Day. The situation poses a significant embarrassment for Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley.
