After 31 years, Stephen Lawrence's body is finally set to be returned to the UK from Jamaica, stirring emotions and memories of his tragic story.

The long-awaited return of Stephen Lawrence's body to the UK is finally happening, bringing closure to a case that has haunted the nation for decades. Stephen, an aspiring architect, was tragically killed in April 1993 during a racially motivated attack while waiting for a bus in Eltham, South-East London. His death sparked widespread outrage and became a pivotal moment in the fight against racial injustice in the UK. After being buried in Jamaica, his body was recently exhumed at the request of his family, particularly his mother, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, who announced the news amid distress caused by the circulation of photos of Stephen's open grave on social media.
