Hacked Off founder Brian Cathcart has accused Culture Secretary Matt Hancock of falsely crediting the Daily Mail with helping to bring Stephen Lawrence’s killers to justice.

Lawrence was killed in a racially motivated attack in south east London in April 1993. Four years later, after failed criminal prosecutions, an inquest recorded a verdict of “unlawful killing” by five suspects.

On 14 February 1997, the day after the verdict, the Daily Mail published a front page in which it names the five men it says killed Lawrence with the headline “Murderers” and invited them to sue the paper if they are wrong.
