Stephen Lawrence murderer David Norris denied parole

Claims by Norris, now 49, that he has ceased to be a racist rejected in Parole Board ruling

A man convicted of the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence continued to be a bigot in jail – taking drugs, having mobile phones, a weapon, and abusing black and Muslim inmates, it has emerged.

The revelations about David Norris, now 49, came as the Parole Board rejected his claims to have changed so much that he could be freed or moved to an open prison.
