A 1993 murder of a Black trainee architect in southeast London sparked outrage, exposing police incompetence and institutional racism. Persistent campaigning led to the landmark Macpherson Report, which defined “institutional racism” and prompted sweeping policing reforms. Decades later, DNA evidence secured convictions, illustrating the power of forensic advances and relentless advocacy in achieving delayed justice and lasting systemic change.
