Stephen Lawrence’s body will be returned to the UK from Jamaica 31 years after his racist murder, his mother Doreen Lawrence said.
Baroness Lawrence said images of her son’s grave had appeared on social media after his body was exhumed, which had caused the family “distress”.
The Lawrence family laid the 18-year-old to rest overseas because they felt “he would not be at peace in this country”.
Mr Lawrence, who was black British and from Plumstead, south-east London, was killed in a racially motivated attack while waiting for a bus in Eltham in April 1993.
