What made you go WTF today?

There were prosecutions for the murder of Stephen Lawrence at the time in 1993.

But the whole investigation and prosecution were botched by the Met, which allowed the gang of prime suspects to effectively walk free.

Many years of public inquiry into how the hell this could have happened led to the Macpherson report on institutionalised racism in the Met in 1999, and has led to wholesale changes to the way the Met operates.

Stephen's parents have campaigned tirelessly for the prime suspects to be brought to justice.

New forensic investigations allowed two of the prime suspects, Gary Dobson and David Norris, to be successfully prosecuted and sentenced to life for the murder, 18 years later.

It's a notorious case that has had an impact on the conscience of the nation.

It would seem, from Loki's article, that the Met still faces accusations of racism, however.

Ah, thanks for explaining the time gap, Tim.
