Bayoh probe shows Scottish police watchdog is ‘unfit’
Campaigners raise alarm on Scotland’s PIRC after death

A FLAWED investigation by the Scottish police watchdog into the death in custody of a 31-year-old man earlier this year shows the body is “unfit for purpose,” campaigners claimed yesterday.

Sheku Bayoh died after being restrained by officers in Kirkaldy on May 3.

Reports suggest that Mr Bayoh was covered in cuts and bruises and suffered a broken rib during his encounter with the police.
