Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} A bid to move one of Stephen Lawrence’s killers to an open prison has been denied. The application for David Norris to serve the rest of his term in a lower security jail was blocked by Justice Secretary Dominic Raab amid fears he still poses a risk to the public. The decision comes after Mr Raab promised to start personally reviewing requests to move high-risk offenders to open jails, although it is understood that this was such a clear case of high risk that the move would have been refused even before those changes were introduced.
