Luke Knight, 47, was seen near the Eltham bus stop where Stephen Lawrence was killed in 1993. Knight, who has always maintained his innocence, was arrested and charged with murder but the case was dropped due to lack of evidence.

One of the men suspected of killing Stephen Lawrence has been spotted near the scene of the attack - just days before the murdered teenager would have turned 50.

The roofer, who has always maintained his innocence, remains the only one of the original five suspects in Stephen's case who does not have a criminal conviction. The Acourt brothers have always maintained their innocence and have never been convicted, although both have since served jail time for drug dealing.

Neighbours and friends said Knight earns a living as a roofer but lives a 'lonely existence' in a top-floor flat and has started to look older in recent years, with grey hair visible. Luke Knight was famously pelted with eggs on June 30, 1998 outside the public inquiry into the police's handling of the Stephen Lawrence case in London

Stephen's parents later began a private prosecution and Knight was tried for murder at the Old Bailey alongside Dobson and Neil Acourt in 1996.
