Lawrence case men guilty of race attack

Two former suspects in the Stephen Lawrence murder investigation were today found guilty of carrying out a racist attack on an off-duty black police officer just half a mile from where the black teenager was killed.

David Norris, 25, a passenger in a car driven by Neil Acourt, 27, threw a McDonald’s drink at Detective Constable Gareth Reid and shouted ‘‘nigger’’ as the policeman walked home from Eltham railway station in south east London on May 11 last year.
