A senior investigating officer told police who arrested Sheku Bayoh not to discuss his death with each other but to relax and watch TV, he told an inquiry.
Chief Inspector Colin Robson, 43, was on shift on May 3, 2015 when Mr Bayoh was detained in Kirkcaldy, Fife, and shortly afterward fell unconscious before being pronounced dead in hospital.
Officers involved in the arrest were taken back to Kirkcaldy Police Office and Mr Robson, who was a detective inspector on the day, told the inquiry into Mr Bayoh’s death that he advised them not to talk about the incident.
