One of the original suspects in the murder of Stephen Lawrence has been jailed for six months for flouting a serious criminal behaviour order. 48-year-old Acourt, who denied involvement in the 1993 racially-motivated murder, is now back in jail after failing to inform police about driving a white transit van on ten occasions.
One of the original suspects in the murder of Stephen Lawrence has been jailed for six months after flouting a serious criminal behaviour order . Jamie Acourt , 48, was among those arrested after 18-year-old Mr Lawrence was stabbed to death in a racially-motivated attack in Eltham, south-east London, on 22 April 1993. He has always denied being involved and has never been convicted over the murder but was jailed for nine years in 2018 for masterminding a two-year £3m drugs plot.
Acourt pleaded guilty to the charge, as well as driving without insurance, and was jailed for six months and had six points put on his licence at a hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court last month, the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed. The Metropolitan Police said the offences related to an incident in Park Way, in Hounslow, west London, on 21 October.
