In February 1991, 15-year-old Rolan Adams was walking through South East London with his younger brother when they were targeted by a gang in a brutal racist attack. Rolan was stabbed to death, just two years before the murder of Stephen Lawrence would shock the nation. But while Stephen’s name became known across the country, Rolan’s story received far less attention. And when his family began campaigning for justice, they discovered that the very police force they had turned to for help had been spying on them. Today, we’re covering the murder of Rolan Adams, the police’s treatment of his grieving family, and their decades-long fight for answers.
