How wonderful that the National Crime Agency is to investigate corruption surrounding the Stephen Lawrence case a mere 22 years after the event (Report,17 October). Perhaps it should start by reading Private Eye as it outlined the allegations of corruption and named those accused within weeks of the murder. I predict nobody will face prosecution.
