THE loved ones of Sheku Bayoh should have been given more detail in the first moment they heard of his death, a police officer who delivered the news to them, has said.
Detective Constable Wayne Parker was giving evidence at an inquiry into the death of Mr Bayoh, 31, who died after being restrained on the ground by six officers in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in May 2015.
Evidence so far has said the first “death message” – the news of someone’s death given by police – delivered to the family failed to mention that Mr Bayoh had been in contact with police when he died.
