In the early 1990s I found a dead body in a underground garage in the elephant and castle ,I was walking past this block of flats in princess st when two men come running out saying there’s a dead body in their garage , cut the story short it was a murder victim a homeless man that was set on fire . After I give my statement to the detective we got chatting about Devon , he obviously heard my accent and he was about to retire from the police force and was going to buy a guest house in Devon , he was asking questions about parts of Devon , I never forget it ,I asked the detective what’s the chances of catching those reasonable for killing the homeless man ,his reply was not a great chance because the man that was killed was a down and out they do the minimum detective work, and they praying that the corner will say he died of natural courses even though he was murdered . With Steven Lawrence case the police wasnt racist in solving the case , but back then street murder involving youths the detectives investigating the case would probably turn a blind in many factors , back then if your a small time criminal that been caught , the police would make a deal with you to admit to other non solved crimes in your area ,and you will get a small fine , just a way for the police to cook their book to reduce unsolved crimes in their patch , it looks good but in a nut shell they just bribe a criminal to take the rap for crimes he never committed so he has a lesser sentence, policing was really different in the 1990s ,
