He said: “I will go to my grave with that guilt in my heart” and “32 years ago, the events of that night should never be” he added.

Norris said that Mr. Lawrence did not do anything to provoke the gang that killed him and apologized to his friend Duwayne Brooks, his friend of Mr. Lawrence, who was with him the night he died.

“They were just trying to go home, and everyone should be able to continue their work safely, regardless of what age or race.

“I was a 16 -year -old terrible, violent, racist, young man.

Norris said he grew up in an environment where he said it should be “difficult to survive”, because “any sign of weakness made you vulnerable to the tyrants of the region.”

When he was young, he said that he and his friends were “children who do not see color”.

As he got older, his guilty father Clifford wanted to imitate Norris: “I had to try to be bigger and worse than that.”

Norris said: “It was 10 seconds or less, I had no time to think. It was a response of impulse.”

He said he had no gun, but he refused to discuss what other members of the gang did to protect his family.

Norris said to the conditional evacuation hearing: “I’m not here to discuss other people, I am here to take responsibility for my role in my actions.”

Then he added: “In an ideal world, I can tell them the whole truth of my own department and others.

“I can’t give them everything they want, because it will pose a risk for me and my family.”

At the former Bailey hearing in 2011, he rejected his participation in killing, but he admitted that he had been at the scene since then.

The hearing was said to be inspired to admit a Catholic priest after watching the 2018 ITV documentary, where Neville Lawrence said that he forgave his son’s murderers.

Mr. Lawrence’s mother, Barones Doreen Lawrence, said in a statement to the hearing that he was afraid of his family’s security and that Norris was a “solid opinion” that should not walk freely.

“This individual is completely aware of the truth, but intentionally chose to lie and remain silent.

“If you have any uncertainty, I strongly recommend that you keep this individual in the current state until you are ready to reveal the truth.”

A prison criminal director, the hearing, said that Norris was inspired by a documentary to admit that Neville Lawrence was finally on the murder of Mr. Lawrence.

Norris, who claims that he now punched Mr. Lawrence but not stabbed him, said Neville Lawrence’s “forgiveness” stuck with him “.

The hearing was said to have made activities focusing on preventing racism and violence while in prison.

However, the prison criminal director also said that he called a woman nurse as a “terrible C ***” and would not recommend it to be released.

He said Norris should first be moved to less restrictive prison conditions.

In an opening statement, Panel President Cassie Williams quoted the original words of Norris in the murder case.

He repeated Mr. Justice Treacy’s murder of Mr. Lawrence “was a terrible and bad crime and that David Norris was committed by a racist gang gang”.

In the Old Bailey case of Norris, who was convicted of murder with Gary Dobson, did not prove who used the knife, but the judge found it with the couple with “knowledge and approval”.

The hearing said that Mr. Lawrence’s family “continued to be devastated by the murder.”

According to the hearing, he said he would evaluate the risk of the Conditional Evacuation Board panel.

Williams added: “In this case, it is important to emphasize that a re -trial or attempting to punish David Norris on the sentence given by the court is not the purpose of an oral hearing.

“Panel makes a risk assessment.

“We are aware that we cannot change what happened to Stephen Lawrence.”
