Police Scotland did not receive a police watchdog investigation report into the death of Sheku Bayoh that would have been “incredibly valuable” in terms of officers examining conduct, an inquiry was told.
Retired deputy chief constable Fiona Taylor, who served in her role from 2018 to 2023, spoke about the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) report when she gave evidence to the inquiry on Wednesday, June 19.
