London - The teenage killer of headmaster Philip Lawrence yesterday lost an appeal against his murder conviction. Learco Chindamo (17), who stabbed Mr Lawrence to death outside his school as he defended a pupil, showed no emotion when the Court of Appeal dismissed his application, watched by Mr Lawrence's widow, Frances.
Mr Lawrence was attacked in December 1995 outside St George's Catholic School in Maida Vale, west London, when a gang of 12 youths led by Chindamo went to attack a boy who had quarrelled with a pupil of Filipino origin.
