Neville Lawrence has declared that one of his son's killers should identify the remaining accomplices participating in the killing before having his case reviewed for parole.
Neville Lawrence, now 83, is awaiting David Norris's first appearance before the release committee where he will request his freedom.
Norris, currently 49, was sentenced to a life sentence with a minimum sentence of over 14 years in early 2012, over 18 years after Stephen was killed by a racist gang while running to catch a bus home.
The parole hearing will be conducted in prison with a video feed broadcast to a hearing room at the Royal Courts of Justice. Norris will appear on camera, but only the back of his head will be visible to viewers.
Permission was granted for his release proceeding to be open to the public after news outlets petitioned with the support of Stephen's parents, with Neville Lawrence saying: "The more people that can see, the better."
In official documents outlining the ruling, it was disclosed that Norris currently admits he was there at the location of the murder, but claims that he merely struck Stephen and was not stabbed him.
Lawrence emphasized the importance of learning Stephen's killers identified and brought to justice. "It matters for me because of their actions," he stated.
"They ruined my life. They've caused me not to be able to live in this country. They've deprived me of the chance of seeing my son getting married, of having his grandchildren."
"Norris has taken me of so much that there is no possibility I can even start to think that he should be allowed to walk free."
Law enforcement believe Stephen was killed by a gang of up to six people in Eltham, with just two having been convicted – Norris and Gary Dobson.
The pair were convicted by a jury at the central criminal court based on minute DNA evidence gathered using cutting-edge techniques.
Other suspects in the case included Jamie and Neil Acourt, who have since been found guilty of unrelated drug offences, and Luke Knight. A final individual, Matthew White, passed away in 2021.
The College of Policing is conducting a review of the latest phase of the investigation into Stephen's death following the guilty verdicts of Dobson and Norris.
Lawrence voiced being "disappointed" at the pace of the justice system.
He has previously said he would be willing to pardon his son's killers if they showed remorse. He indicated that naming names would be a sign Norris was sorry and of a potential change in attitude.
"Were I on that release committee, he would have to cooperate before I even think of him being released."
He added: "He could name the rest of the people that were with him. He could name the person that fatally wounded Stephen and make a public apology to my family for murdering my son."
He remarked: "I don't think he'll make a public statement to us," adding: "I may be biased but I don't believe he should be able to roam freely – my son can't."
Stephen was on his way to board public transport with his friend Duwayne Brooks in southeast London in spring 1993 when he was attacked and killed by a gang who used racial slurs before they struck.
Incompetence and claims of misconduct, focused on Norris's father involved in narcotics, plagued the investigation into Stephen's death for years.
There was also outrage when it emerged that undercover officers from the Metropolitan police had monitored activists supporting the family.
In 1999, a official investigation into Stephen's death concluded that the force was institutionally racist.
