Inquiry witness casts doubt on claim Sheku Bayoh 'stamped' on police officer

A man who watched Sheku Bayoh being detained has told a hearing he did not think it was possible the 31-year-old could have stomped on a constable as described to the inquiry by police officers.
Kevin Nelson, who lived opposite to where Mr Bayoh was detained by officers in Kirkcaldy's Hayfield Road, watched from his living room window as the 31-year-old was arrested.

Mr Nelson said he saw the Pava spray being deployed by officers.
