A detective involved in the aftermath of the death of a man detained by police should have told the man’s girlfriend more about officers’ contact with him, an inquiry has heard.
Detective Inspector Graeme Dursley, who was a detective sergeant on the day Sheku Bayoh died, told the inquiry into the 31-year-old’s death that officers did not go into detail about what had happened when they told Collette Bell of his death.
But he said they should have told her about the police’s contact with the father-of-two at that time.
