One of the suspects in the Eltham murder of Stephen Lawrence is thought to be hiding in Spain.

Jamie Acourt, 40, from south-east London, was allegedly part of a cannabis-dealing gang between January 2014 and February 2016.

He previously achieved notoriety after he was named as one of the suspects in the investigation into the racist murder of 18-year-old Stephen.

The teenager was killed by up to six attackers in 1993, two of whom, David Norris and Gary Dobson, were convicted and are serving life sentences.

The National Crime Agency and Crimestoppers think Jamie Acourt could be hiding out in Spain 

Acourt is wanted for drug dealing and is one of ten fugitives the National Crime Agency think may be hiding in one of Spain's expat communities.

Steve Reynolds, Head of International Operations for the National Crime Agency, said: "The fugitives we are hunting are wanted for serious crimes and must be returned to the UK to face justice.

"We need the support of the public to help us catch them. Be our eyes and ears and tell us if you have any information on the whereabouts of our targets."
