Eustace Pryce was a 16 year old black youth who was stabbed in the head on 29 November 1984 after he and a group of friends had confronted a gang of racists. The incident was witnessed by plain-clothed police officers. Rather than arresting the murderer, Pryce's brother Gerald was detained. Gerald was charged with affray and initially denied bail.
