Stephen Lawrence murder: IPCC investigating former Met chief
Former Metropolitan Police chief Lord Stevens is being investigated by the police watchdog over information he gave to the inquiry into the Met's handling of the Stephen Lawrence murder case.
The IPCC confirmed it was investigating the evidence Lord Stevens gave to the Macpherson Inquiry in 1998....
Lord Stevens has previously denied any wrongdoing....
It was ordered following concerns about the force's investigation into the murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence, who was stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack by a gang of white youths in April 1993.
