Lawrence killers jailed for ‘terrible and evil crime’
On Tuesday, Gary Dobson, aged 36, and David Norris, aged 35, were found guilty by a jury of being part of a gang of white youths who stabbed the 18-year-old to death in an unprovoked attack at a bus stop in Eltham, south-east London.
Handing down the sentences in a packed courtroom at London’s Old Bailey, Judge Colman Treacy said Lawrence’s murder was a “terrible and evil crime” committed for “no other reason than racial hatred”.
