Family seeks expansion of inquiry into 2015 death of Sheku Bayoh in Scottish police custody.

Sheku Bayoh's family is pushing for the inquiry into his 2015 death in police custody to be expanded to include an examination of the Crown Office's decision not to prosecute the officers involved. Lawyer Aamer Anwar says the inquiry, led by Lord Bracadale, cannot complete its task without this extension. The Scottish government is considering the request but has not yet made a decision, despite pressure from the Bayoh family. The inquiry is already investigating the circumstances of Bayoh's death and whether race played a role in the police's actions.
