Met failed to act on Lawrence suspect's paedophile admission

Met failed to act on Lawrence suspect's paedophile admission Okay, so picture this absurd scenario: during the investigation into Stephen Lawrence's tragic death – a case that really sticks with you for all sorts of reasons beyond just procedural stuff – there pops up some potential suspect who decides to blurt out something incredibly shocking. Something like, "Oh yeah, forgot to mention I'm actually registered as a sex offender," or maybe even better, "Paedophile." Now, you'd think this would be the kind of detail that sends alarm bells ringing and makes everyone sit up straight.

But here's the thing: it seemed like the Met completely missed the memo. This wasn't just some slip-up; it felt more like a complete breakdown in how they were supposed to operate. It was as if someone found your missing keys under their pillow but you *told* them not to move anything, including looking where things clearly shouldn't be.

It's baffling really – especially when you think about what could have been done with that kind of information floating around a high-profile case like theirs? Shouldn't they have jumped on it immediately and re-examined everything?

And honestly, in the grand scheme of police work, isn't this exactly the type of thing that makes cases frustratingly drag on for years? When you get info like this slipping under the radar during an investigation into something serious – yeah, there's a definite problem with how they handle things.
