A Scotland Yard officer is to be disciplined for racially discriminating against Stephen Lawrence’s younger brother.
The police watchdog has ordered the Met to bring misconduct proceedings against the officer, who followed and stopped teacher Stuart Lawrence as he drove home in his car last November.
The Met’s professional standards unit had previously cleared the officer of any wrongdoing.
But after Mr Lawrence appealed, the Independent Police Complaints Commission has ruled that his allegation against the officer was ‘well founded’ and he should face a misconduct hearing.
