The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has decided that there is not enough evidence to prosecute the white youths accused of the racist murder of 18 year-old Stephen Lawrence in Eltham, south London in April 1993 (see Statewatch vol 3, no 3). Two youths were originally charged with Stephen's murder, but the case against them was dropped when the CPS decided there was insufficient evidence. At the inquest into Stephen's murder, last December, dramatic new evidence was presented identifying three new suspects. A spokeswoman for the CPS said that after studying the evidence it had decided against pressing charges. Stephen's family may now bring a private prosecution against the suspects
