Saadia Rashid said police told her they did not need a warrant to search the property.
A woman has told the Sheku Bayoh inquiry of her “traumatic nightmare experience” as she and her family were made to vacate their house by police officers who told them it was being treated as a crime scene.
She said that around an hour later, a number of uniformed officers came to the house along with one in a suit who told her the family needed to vacate the house as officers were looking for evidence and had to search the house. The witness said no explanation was given as to why officers needed to search the property.
The KC asked whether any explanation was given as to why the house was considered a crime scene, to which Mrs Rashid replied: “No.” The witness said she explained to officers that she could not leave as her paralysed brother was in a wheelchair and she and her elderly mother could not move him on their own, and she also had two young children, aged two months and one-and-a-half.
Ms Grahame referred the witness to her statement to the inquiry in which she described how during the course of the day “news of Shek had spread all over town”, but she could not understand how this related to her family home. She told the inquiry she was not aware of anything that would connect Mr Bayoh to the house.
