THE sister of tragic Sheku Bayoh has told an inquiry he would I have been treated differently by police had he been white.
Dad-of-two Sheku, 31, died after being restrained in the street in Kirkcaldy by six police officers.
The inquiry into his death is probing whether race was a factor.
Kadi Johnson, 45, said yesterday she believed police treated her brother the way they did "from the very first instant" because he was black.
She said she and her family began to feel "suspicious" the day her brother died after being given varying accounts of the incident.
