Lawrence was interesting. There was some connection with a member of Steven's family having worked for one of the Mail's high command. He was therefore (rightly) seen to come from a decent family. Were it not for that I suspect the Mail would have lumped it with other similar killings including innuendo about immigrant families, crime, drugs etc.
