Inquiry shown footage of moment Sheku Bayoh was restrained
The inquiry into the death of Sheku Bayoh has been shown footage and heard 999 calls from the day he died.
Visual and audio recordings, taken from CCTV, witnesses' phones and emergency calls, were all shown in real-time at the public hearing in Edinburgh, revealing events leading up to and when Mr Bayoh was restrained by officers in Kirkcaldy, Fife, on May 3 2015.
The 31-year-old died a short time after being held by officers.
His family believe race played a part in his death.
The inquiry was shown dashcam footage as well as audio recordings of a number of different emergency calls.
One caller could be made out saying: "There's a black man walking along...he has a knife in his hand...he's walking towards the hospital."
The inquiry then saw police vehicles arriving at the scene
via CCTV footage from nearby Gallagher's pub in Hendry Road.
There were recordings of audio calls relating to an injured police officer – Pc Short – as well as Snapchat footage taken from a witness's phone, lasting only a few seconds, shows officers restraining Mr Bayoh on the ground.
An officer from the scene can then be heard reporting Pc Short was "stomped on the body a few times and struck to the head".
More than 30 seconds later, just after 7.25am, Pc Smith, in attendance, reports: "The male appears to be unconscious, breathing, not responsive, get an ambulance for him."
With the help of CCTV footage from Gallagher's pub, a reconstructed 3D image of the scene and a radio call recording, the inquiry saw an ambulance then arrived at the scene at about 7.34am.
Earlier, the inquiry was given a demonstration on how Advanced Laser Imaging (ALI), a company used to create accurate 3D impressions of scenes, was used to remodel the scene where Mr Bayoh died to help the investigation.
ALI was used to recreate the scene where Diana, Princess of Wales died during an inquest that was held about a decade after her death.
Mark Degiovanni, of ALI, said there are "many parallels" between ALI'S work on Diana's inquest and the inquiry into Mr Bayoh's death.
The inquiry, before Lord Bracadale, continues.
