Stephen Lawrence's mother says she hopes the family can finally begin to "move on" after two of the teenager's killers were sentenced to life in prison.

Gary Dobson and David Norris will serve at least 15 and 14 years respectively for the racist murder -- described in court today as a "terrible and evil crime".

The judge went on to say he hoped the case would be not closed -- a sentiment echoed by the new head of the Metropolitan police, who warned that the remaining members of the gang responsible for the attack "should not rest easily in their beds."

We'll have more on that in a moment, first our main report from Sky's Tom Parmenter.
