Aamar Anwar, Sheku's family lawyer, has written to Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes urging a review for the inquiry to examine why police were not prosecuted.
Government ministers are facing demands to expand the Sheku Bayoh public inquiry to examine why police were not prosecuted over the 31-year-old’s death.
Aamar Anwar, lawyer for the victim’s family, has now written to Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes urging a review of the inquiry’s terms of reference. “The inclusion of the prosecutorial decision would allow for access to the ‘whole truth’ that the family not only need but deserve.” Anwar goes on to claim that an examination of the Crown Office’s decision not to prosecute police officers was removed from the scope of the inquiry after strong resistance from Wolffe, the head of the organisation at the time.
Sarwar said: “There are merits in the family’s call to expand the remit of the inquiry.” Findlay said he “fully supports” the family’s demand” and Cole-Hamilton said: “The family need to be heard.”
