It is “not possible” that Sheku Bayoh stamped on a female police officer as she lay prone on the ground, as two other officers have claimed, according to a witness who watched the 31-year-old’s arrest from his living room window.
Bayoh died in handcuffs and sustained multiple injuries after officers responded to calls from the public about a man brandishing a knife and behaving erratically early on a Sunday morning in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in May 2015.
