Стэнлі Кокрановского з'яўляецца 75 гадоў. Ён прыехаў у Вялікабрытанію ў першы раз у мінулым годзе, не ў якасці турыста, але каб даведацца, хто забіў яго брата амаль 50 гадоў назад. 17 мая 1959, Келсо Кокрановского, 32-гадовы цясляр з Антыгуа, быў забіты групай белых маладых людзей у Notting Hill Gate. Ніхто так і не асуджаным.

“У сакавіку 2003 Я прачнуўся ад трывожны сон аб маім браце,” кажа Стэнлі. “З гэтага моманту я не магла пахіснуць яго твар ад майго розуму. “Ён працягваў вяртацца ў марах. Я вырашыў, што трэба нешта рабіць.”

Stanley wrote to the then Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir John Stevens, asking for his brother’s murder to be re-investigated. They replied there was no new forensic evidence to re-open the case.

Three years on, and not satisfied with the police response, he decided to see what he could find out for himself.

Above all, he wanted to know why his brother Kelso was killed. Was it robbery or racially motivated? Was it both?
