Aamer Anwar hopes 'thousands' will give Sheku Bayoh's family support when inquiry ends

The lawyer representing the family of a man who died in police custody has said he hopes "thousands" of people will turn out at the end of the inquiry into his death.

Sheku Bayoh, 31, died in handcuffs and sustained multiple injuries after officers responded to calls from the public about a man brandishing a knife and behaving erratically on a Sunday morning in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in May 2015.
