Police officers giving evidence at an inquiry into the death of Sheku Bayoh will not be protected from potential prosecution, one of Scotland's most senior lawyers has ruled.
But the move means officers might refuse to give evidence on the grounds that they could incriminate themselves if they were found to have broken the law.
A public inquiry will open in May into the death of the 31-year-old in May 2015 after he was restrained by police who were responding to a call in Kirkcaldy, Fife.
