Stephen Lawrence's mother has said the 'violent racist' who murdered her son 'has not changed' as he makes a bid to be released from prison. David Norris, 49, one of two men convicted of Stephen's racist murder, was jailed for life in January 2012 with a minimum term of 14 years and three months, which expired in December 2024. Yesterday and today, a parole hearing has taken place in public, with another day scheduled to take place in private on Friday. During the parole hearing, Norris was repeatedly asked who he was with on the night of the murder in 1993, but refused to name others involved, claiming he feared for his family's safety. Yesterday, he also admitted to punching Stephen 'two or three times' after the teenager dropped to his knees in the street during the racist attack, saying he was 'disgusted by his role in the murder'.But his own offender manager told the panel it was possible he was only now expressing remorse to secure his freedom.Now, Mr Lawrence's mother, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, has spoken about how 'incredibly painful' it has been for her to hear son's killer make a bid to be released from prison. Following today's hearing, she said Norris remains a 'danger to the public' and is 'still a violent racist' who has 'not changed'. Stephen Lawrence (pictured) was murdered by a racist gang while running for the bus home David Norris (pictured) told the hearing yesterday that he and his family would be 'at risk' if he divulged details about the others involved in Stephen's murder'It has been incredibly painful for me listening to this person's application to be released from prison,' she said. 'He is a racist, who with others, murdered my son Stephen. I will not name him. 'It was vital that this hearing took place in public so that everyone could see and hear what was said by him and about him.'He says he's sorry for the pain he caused me and my family. I don't believe him. The only person he is sorry for is himself. As far I am concerned he is a coward. 'He refused to show his face. He needs to look me in the eye and tell me exactly what he did and why he did it. 'Whilst the parole board will now have to make its decision, having listened over two days, the evidence to me is crystal clear. He is not safe to be released.'He is a danger to the public and a danger to people like me. He was a violent racist and is still a violent racist. He has not changed.' She added: 'He was and remains a liar. Only if he tells the full truth can anyone, including me, start to think he is truly sorry. 'If he was truly sorry he would tell us the whole truth and I was hoping and believing that might happen over the last two days. 'It has added to the pain and hurt that I still feel that he has not done so. This man only feels sorry for himself and he is just saying thinks he thinks could get him released. 'It is deeply shocking the police and authorities have known for years that he now accepts being part of the attack on my son.' She also urgently called for the Met Police to investigate her son's death in the hopes of finding others involved in Stephen's murder. 'This person can name the other killers and says he would love to do so. The police must do everything in their power to obtain that evidence and bring all of Stephen's murderers to justice. 'This man owes me the truth and The Met owe me justice. The Police now have no excuse not to act.' Neville Lawrence, Stephen's father has also urged the board to deny Norris his freedom. Baroness Doreen Lawrence, the mother of Stephen Lawrence, arrived with lawyer Imran Khan at the Royal Courts of Justice in central London yesterday where the hearing is being video streamed Neville Lawrence (pictured), the father of Stephen Lawrence, previously said the other racist gang members who murdered his son should be named before Norris is considered for parole'He says he hasn't been able to name the people who were with him when he killed my son because he and his tell us family would be in danger. Well, good luck to him!'That's not a good enough reason,' he said: 'He is talking about their lives, but what about my son's life and the lives of me and my family?'Whether or not he has been threatened is nothing to do with me. He's the one who murdered Stephen. 'He deserves everything that is coming his way as a consequence of that. I couldn't care less whether or not he has been threatened.'I'm waiting for him to give those names and until then he should stay where he is.'Mr Lawrence also accused Norris of lying when he claimed not to have known that a gang member was armed with a knife, and that he only punched Stephen and did not see the fatal stabbing.He said their habitual possession and use of knives was clear from the infamous police video filmed covertly when they were under investigation.He, too, called on the police to reopen the murder investigation drawing on what little information Norris has reluctantly disclosed over the past two days.It comes after a prison psychologist told a parole hearing that he found Norris was an 'unreliable narrator of his own life'.Giving evidence to the hearing on Wednesday, the psychologist said: 'Hearing the evidence it was quite confusing, as to sometimes admitting something, sometimes going back on that, being confused around dates.'The psychologist added: 'I think sometimes he has good memory, good detail for certain things, other times less so... He's obviously very careful about what he wants to admit to.'The psychologist told the panel he had spent around nine hours with Norris spread over five meetings to assess him.The hearings took place in prison, but were video streamed to a room in the Royal Courts of Justice where the public and media are able to follow proceedings.Among those watching the hearing was Baroness Doreen Lawrence, while his father Neville observed from overseas. Norris, wearing a grey long-sleeved top and using a hearing loop, was only visible from behind.The 49-year-old has been in the current prison he resides for around two years and works preparing and distributing food in the prison servery, the hearing was told. A prison key worker said he had come to the unit wanting to work on 'reactions and perceptions of rudeness towards him'.The prison psychologist also said Norris has a lack of racial awareness and is more likely to use racist language during times of mental ill health or frustration.On Tuesday, it was heard Norris had clashed with Muslim prisoners, which included claims he had thrown faeces and used derogatory terms, which he denies.While he has since made progress and mixes with other prisoners from varied backgrounds, the psychologist said he would not recommend release.The psychologist advised Norris should instead be transferred to a lower security category C prison. Ahead of questioning on Tuesday, Norris read a statement where he wished to ''express my genuine remorse for the death of the victim in my case'.Speaking publicly for the first time since admitting his role in the killing, he said: 'I will go to my grave with that guilt in my heart'. He later added: 'The events of that night 32 years ago should never have happened.'The prison psychologist also suggested yesterday that Stephen may have been killed as part of a gang initiation.The stabbing of the innocent black teenager, in April 1993, bore similarities to the knifing of a white boy in the same area of South-East London a month earlier, the expert said.It was believed that both attacks were carried out by the same group of youths and 'there are some suggestions that it was part of an initiation for the gang.'In assessing Norris's case, Parole Board member Dr Duncan Harding said the panel had considered a weighty dossier on Norris which included his other alleged offences.In one case he was charged with the attempted murder of the white boy, but he was acquitted – allegedly after his gangster father Clifford Norris bribed the victim into changing his evidence.Dr Harding acknowledged Norris's acquittal but asked the psychologist whether he saw 'any parallels' between the two attacks.'Yes, I think there were…in terms of targeting someone, there being some kind of verbal dispute maybe, and their being stabbed,' the unnamed psychologist replied.'I touched on this in my report and I spoke to Mr Norris about it. There are some suggestions that it was part of an initiation for the gang. 'Mr Norris denies that. It may be the case that the previous allegation (the attack on the white youth) was also about it. It may be that that was what the (attack on Stephen) was about.'He added that this theory was 'highly speculative.'Dr Harding said he was aware Norris had been found not guilty of the first attack, and had 'heard this loud and clear'.However, it had been mentioned in the McPherson Report – the landmark inquiry into the Lawrence case – and he felt it could 'potentially give some understanding for the possible motive' for Stephen's murder – 'that it could potentially have been some kind of initiation.'Norris has admitted to being 'a horrible, violent, racist kid' but insists he no longer holds those views. 'He claims reports that he has used the 'N' word and other racist slurs in prison in recent years, and groomed a young prisoner in bigoted ideology, have been fabricated by prison staff to smear him.But his psychologist says it was 'likely' that he used racist language. Norris had been transferred between several prisons, he said, and it was implausible that staff in all these institutions had been dishonest.The psychologist also told the panel he believes Norris, who is in a specialist prison unit, has expressed genuine remorse for the murder.'I'm not overly sceptical of it. Some of the remorse has been expressed nowhere near a parole hearing and so can't solely be accounted for by that,' he said.Norris broke prison rules to get two mobile phones while behind bars, and messaged family and friends about when he would be released, it was also heard.The psychologist said someone can still feel remorse but 'lapse' in certain situations.An independent psychologist instructed for Norris then told the hearing that she believes he could be released from jail, or if he remains in prison should be moved to a lower category and lower security prison.Norris was moved back up to category B after he was caught with mobile phones and a screwdriver against prison rules.
