A Swanley man is one of two given a life sentence today for the racist murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence.

Gary Dobson, who lived in Moultain Hill when he was arrested, has been jailed for a minimum of 15 years and two months.

David Norris, who grew up in Chislehurst and whose gangster father Clifford Norris is understood to live in Ashford, was given a minimum prison term of 14 years and three months.

The pair were convicted at the Old Bailey yesterday of killing the 18-year-old in a racist attack at a bus stop in south east London in 1993.

The judge had to sentence the men as juveniles, because of their ages at the time they committed the crime - 17 and 16.

After sentencing, Stephen Lawrence's father Neville called on the two men to turn in anyone elseinvolved in the killing.

He said: "One of my greatest hopes is that these people have now realised that they have been found out and are now going to go and lie down in their beds and think that they weren't the only ones responsible for the death of my son and they are going to give up the rest of the people."

Stephen's mother Doreen said: "It's the beginning of starting a new life because we've been in limbo for so long. So today is where we can start to move on and I can try and take control of my life once more."

As he was led away, 36-year-old Dobson, protested his innocence - saying "you have condemned an innocent man here - I hope you can live with yourselves".

The convictions come after a forensic review of the case found significant new scientific evidence on clothing seized from the suspects' homes 18 years ago.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Cressida Dick said: "We are very pleased for the family and those who loved Stephen. There have been several investigations over the last 18 years during which the Lawrence family have campaigned tirelessly for justice.

"This prosecution has depended upon previously unavailable scientific technology and techniques which led to the discovery of the new evidence.

"Throughout this inquiry there has been close co-operation between the Metropolitan Police, the CPS and counsel. We have also worked very closely with the Forensic Science Service and LGC Forensics.

"The Lawrence family were kept informed at all stages of the forensic review and subsequent re-investigation. We pay tribute to Mr and Mrs Lawrence's courage and dignity. They have contributed to major changes within policing, the law and society as a whole."

Previous investigations into the murder had not resulted in anyone being convicted. Three men, including Dobson, were acquitted of the murder in 1996 following a private prosecution brought by the Lawrence family.
