STORY: "Police under fire from Lawrence and Filken," published on Blottr on January 4, 2012.
GIST: "When police first appeared on the scene it appeared as if they saw the killing as simply another gangland fracas. Stephen Lawrence was left bleeding on the pavement while the police officers attempted to arrest and interrogate his friend. The police forces also failed to follow up a number of anonymous tip-offs they were sent in the aftermath of the killing. In the inquiry it was revealed that many people that had given evidence never saw their information reproduced by the police. One of the more shocking errors was when only four days after the murder the police were performing surveillance on the Acourt’s house and failed to act when someone left the house carrying what was probably a binliner filled with the clothes they had been wearing during the murder."
