The police urgently assesses whether he should start a new investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence after one of the teenager's murderers has finally admitted his involvement.
David Norris, 48, has always denied that he is involved in the murder of the teenager 1993, but has now known that she is part of the gang of criminals who brought the 18-year-old student to death.
He claims that he beat Stephen but did not stab him during the attack at a bus stop in Southeast London.
It comes when he makes an offer for freedom that has been behind bars since 2011, a report for the benefit of the conditional provision has been revealed.
His confessions have asked questions about whether the case with Police will reopen the case after it was closed five years ago with a maximum of four of the murderers who escape justice.
Five men were initially arrested about the murder, in Eltham, Southeast Londs, with Norris, 16 at the time, and Gary Dobson, 16 then only 49 now, only brought to court after a late forensic breakthrough.
Both received lifelong sentences in 2012.
When asked whether the power would open a new murder probe, a spokeswoman said the mirror that it was “too early to comment.”

Last year Stephen's father Neville Lawrence (photo) told the mail that he should be released alone if he mentions the other murderers.
She added: 'Our goal remains the arrest, persecution and conviction of everyone responsible for the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
'We are aware of the Parole Board report and will urgently assess its implications. We will keep the Lawrence and their representatives informed as our work progresses. '
It is expected that officers will take the sounding of Norris's lawyer about whether he would be willing to speak to them.
The Parole Board's statement said on Thursday: “After the trial, Mr Norris continued to deny the violation. Recent reports now suggest that he accepted that he was present on the spot and beat the victim, but claims that he had not used the knife. He does not accept that he has racist views. '
Last year Stephen's father Neville Lawrence told the mail that he should be released alone if he calls the other murderers.
Neville, 83, said: 'I feel that if someone is lucky to have that chance of conditional release, they have to say that I am sorry, I will never get into trouble again and they should admit what they did.
'If he admits it and said how sorry he was and he calls the other people I could accept him who came out.
'Nobody who was there that night once told the truth about what happened or even admitted that they were there.

“If he does that, it will be the first time. If he admitted that he was there and would make sure that my son lost his life, I would accept what happened and it would seem to me that he was a changed person, but if he just says nothing, I can't accept it [his release]. '
Norris and Dobson are both convicted of joint business legislation and are the only gang members convicted.
The couple was eventually sentenced in 2012 with Norris sentenced to at least 14 years and three months and Dobson sentenced to at least 15 years and two months.
Due to the time spent on pre -trial detention, Norris's punishment is almost up, but his time in prison has not been without problems that will probably count against him when the panel makes his decision.
He was illegally caught using a smartphone in prison in 2022, which he used to take a pathogenic selfie from his cell on Dartmoor's e-wing, which houses supposedly well-behaved prisoners.
The phone was recovered from his body after he was Barntgen, and a police investigation into how he obtained the device was launched.
The murder of Stephen led to the Macpherson report of 1999 that the metropolitan police burned racist.
The Crown Prosecution Service ruled last year the four officer involved in the failed initial investigation into Stephen Murder will not receive criminal prosecution.
