A former high-ranking detective has told an inquiry that telling police officers the results of Sheku Bayoh’s post-mortem before they gave statements “could influence their version of events”.
Retired detective chief inspector Keith Hardie, 60, told the inquiry looking into the circumstances surrounding the father-of-two’s death that he would “absolutely” have concerns about telling the officers involved in Mr Bayoh’s detention moments before he died about the post-mortem before they gave statements.
