Tension increased dramatically in south-east London after charges were dropped against two white teenagers accused of the murder of 18 year old Stephen Lawrence in Eltham last April (see Statewatch 3:3). Stephan's family were devastated at the decision. His aunt, Cheryl Soley, said: "We were told by the police to trust them and that they were doing all they could. It obviously wasn't good enough". Two other teenagers arrested for the killing are on police bail.
