Glasgow Park Inn survivors 'still suffering' after attack not given mental health support

The company which housed asylum seekers in a Glasgow hotel where a man was shot dead by police after stabbing six people failed to fund mental health care for survivors in the wake of the attack, MSPs were told.

Baroness Helena Kennedy KC said if accommodation provider Mears "had any good sense", it would have funded "therapeutic help" following the incident, which she said left floors "awash with blood".

Baroness Kennedy led an independent commission of inquiry into asylum provision in Scotland following the shooting of Badreddin Abdalla Adam at the Park Inn Hotel in Glasgow in June 2020.
