A FAMILY targeted by spycops after their son was killed by a self-described Nazi gang have expressed fears that the “role of racism” in undercover policing will “remain hidden.”
Audrey and Richard Adams, who are core participants in the Undercover Policing inquiry, are demanding answers as to why they were targeted while seeking justice for their murdered son.
Rolan Adams, 15, was killed after he and his brother Nathan were attacked by a gang of 12 to 15 neonazis on their way home in Thamesmead, south-east London, in 1991.
