An anniversary appeal for information on the murder of Stephen Lawrence has prompted two "very significant" phone calls.
The appeal was broadcast on the BBC's Crimewatch programme on Monday night, a week after the 20th anniversary of the racist attack in Eltham, south-east London.
Officers are following up a number of phone calls from after the programme.
Detective Chief Inspector Clive Driscoll said two in particular were "very significant". He said: "One could produce a potential eyewitness to the attack, and one gives very good background information on suspects."
Mr Lawrence, an 18-year-old aspiring architect, was stabbed to death by a group of up to six white youths in an unprovoked racist attack as he waited at a bus stop in Well Hall Road with a friend in April 1993.
In January 2012, Gary Dobson and David Norris were found guilty of being involved in the attack and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
