Two men are to face trial over the murder of teenager Stephen Lawrence in London 18 years ago.

The 18-year-old A-level student was stabbed to death at a bus stop in Eltham, south east London.

Gary Dobson, 35, and David Norris, 34, were arrested last September over the April 1993 murder and are in custody.

The allegations could not be reported until today for legal reasons.

The trial is due to take place in November at the Old Bailey, where a further hearing is due to take place in the next two months.

Mr Norris was at the Court of Appeal while Mr Dobson was not present.

Some reporting restrictions surrounding the case remain in place.
