Lawrence pair guilty of murder

Two men have been found guilty of the murder of Stephen Lawrence, nearly 19 years after the teenager died.

Gary Dobson, 36, and David Norris, 35, were convicted by a jury at the Old Bailey.

Mr Lawrence was killed in a racist attack by a gang of youths in Eltham, south east London, in April 1993.

Stephen's parents Doreen and Neville wept as the verdicts were delivered.

Dobson protested his innocence as he was led from court, saying: "You have condemned an innocent man here, I hope you can live with yourselves."

The judge Mr Justice Treacy said he will sentence both men on Wednesday.
