Stephen Lawrence detectives will not face prosecution

Four retired detectives who ran the first Stephen Lawrence murder investigation should not face criminal charges for their actions in the case, a review has concluded.

The BBC has been told the review, by a senior CPS lawyer, found there was insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and therefore none of the four will be charged.

It upholds a previous decision by the CPS not to prosecute.

Stephen was murdered in April 1993 in a racist attack in south London.
