Sheku Bayoh cops 'found signs of potential disturbance at his home'
07.02.2023 - 18:11 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Police found signs of a potential disturbance when they searched Sheku Bayoh's home, an inquiry has heard.
Officers examined various locations as they tried to piece together Mr Bayoh’s movements in the hours before his death more than seven years ago, Detective Constable Robert Finch said. The father-of-two, 31, died after he was restrained on the ground by six police officers in Kirkcaldy, Fife, on May 3 2015.

Laura Thomson, junior counsel to the Sheku Bayoh Inquiry, read from the statement DC Finch gave to the inquiry in which he described what kind of things officers might be looking for. It said: “I wasn’t given specific information about what might be relevant, but from memory it was passed that Mr Bayoh had possession of a knife, it was passed that there were potential drugs, there was mention of these purple and white pills that had been flushed down the toilet.

There was also mention of fights between witnesses and the deceased so we were looking for any evidence of disturbance within these loci.”
Asked what the purpose of the searches was, DC Finch replied: “We were looking for anything that could indicate Mr Bayoh’s movements, and going into that morning.”
DC Finch arrived at Mr Bayoh’s home address at
