STEPHEN Lawrence's murderers are due to be sentenced today at the Old Bailey.

Yesterday Gary Dobson, 36, and David Norris, aged 35, were found guilty of killing the teenager on Well Hall Road, Eltham in 1993.

Dobson and Norris face life sentences over the 18-year-old's murder, and will be treated as juveniles at sentencing because of their ages - 17 and 16 respectively - at the time of the killing.

Mr Lawrence died after he was attacked by a gang of youths and stabbed at a bus stop.

The recommended starting point will be around 12 years imprisonment, although the judge could increase this because of the racially motivated aspect of the case and the fact the pair realised one of the group might use a knife.
