British officials on Thursday ordered an official inquiry into how undercover officers handled the 1993 stabbing of black teenager Stephen Lawrence, a racist murder that shocked the country and shook its faith in the police. The judge-led investigation, announced by Home Secretary Theresa May, follows the official confirmation by prominent lawyer Mark Ellison that an undercover officer had been dispatched to monitor Lawrence’s family, effectively acting as a police spy in the parents’ camp as they fought to expose official indifference to their son’s murder.
