THE sister of Sheku Bayoh, who died after being restrained on the ground by police, told an inquiry into her brother’s death she no longer feels safe in Scotland.
The public inquiry into the circumstances of Mr Bayoh’s death began today almost seven years exactly since the father of two was restrained by officers in Kirkcaldy, Fife, on May 3 2015.
Police officers had responded to reports of a black man in an agitated state carrying a knife.
