“If we scroll through the photographs again please. to show her elbows. her knees. her hands.( PC Nicole Short) So face..knees & hands. Again there are no photographs of her back or the side of her torso.Can you help us to understand why? Day 19- #ShekuBayoh

“The Chair of the Sheku Bayoh Public Inquiry has resigned. The family are devastated by the decision of Lord Bracadale, a judge who treated them with compassion & respect. Over 10 years ago, Sheku died in police hands & his family have fought for the truth and justice ever since. The last 3 years of evidence at the Inquiry exposed the truth of what happened to Sheku, the systemic failures, incompetence & an abject failure to investigate racism & the devastating, deadly force used on an unarmed black man. For the Bayoh family, an unholy trinity of the Police, SPF & Crown Office have tried their very best to shut down this Inquiry, but they cannot hide from the truth. The family will make a full statement later today.” #SHEKUBAYOH

Sheku’s family lawyer Aamer Anwar said: “The family see this legal action by the SPF, which is likely to cost at least £1million, as a pathetic, desperate attempt to derail the inquiry & a shoddy attack on a judge who has acted with the utmost integrity’” dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scott…

Despite the desperate claims of the Police Federation, the Chair of the Sheku Bayoh Public Inquiry, Lord Bracadale had done nothing wrong, he is a judge with over 50 years legal experience, respected for his impartiality & integrity. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgv…

The Bayoh family’s believe the latest actions of the Scottish Police Federation & the Crown Office are “desperate & pathetic attempts to sabotage the inquiry” as they fear being heavily criticised, accused of racism & terrified of being held accountable- Not fit for purpose

The Sheku Bayoh family believe the Scottish Police Federation are the biggest gang in town, out of control, arrogant, blind to racism, riddled with misogyny, unaccountable & ‘stupid’.  How many £millions of public money from the police budget, police officers wages,  are they willing to spend to defend those who stand accused of breaking their oath to preserve law and order. The Bayohs believe the SPF is not fit for purpose & should be stripped off its powers.

The Bayoh family’s lawyer, Aamer Anwar, described it as a “desperate & pathetic attempt to sabotage the inquiry” because the police & prosecution fear being heavily criticised and accused of racism, and wanted to avoid being held accountable theguardian.com/uk-news/2025…

As we see in the Sheku Bayoh Inq, Rangers fiasco etc etc, Crown Office have as much to lose as the Police & will pay lip service to truth & then try to cover up why they gifted killer & rapist Iain Packer his freedom for so long-#EmmaCaldwell💔 dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scott…

Th Sheku Bayoh Public Inquiry has exposed incompetence, misconduct, alleged criminality & institutional racism at the heart of our criminal justice system – nothing the Police Federation, Police Scotland, Crown Office or PIRC does can ever change that- desperate last throw of 🎲
