Sheku CCTV 'Must Be Made Public'

The final moments of Sheku Bayoh's life have been captured on CCTV and mobile phone footage.

The family of the 31 year old, who died in police custody in May, have been allowed to view the pictures. 

And whilst his death is being looked into by the Police Investigations and Review Commsisioner, Sheku's relatives believes the public deserve to see the footage.

Their lawyer Aamer Anwar speaking on Thursday outside the Scottish Parliament explained: 

"Over the last four months the family has learned a great deal about the background of the police officers and what they did to Sheku Bayoh on the morning of 3 May. This morning, at the Lord Advocate's office, a heartbroken Bayoh family watched the last moments of Sheku's life taken on CCTV and mobile phone.Whilst they agreed to viewing the CCTV on the basis of confidentiality, the family would now urge the Lord Advocate to publicly release the CCTV."
