MY family are tired of the lies and false hope we have been given in over three years since my brother’s death.
I have never said Sheku was a saint but he was my brother, a father and loving partner who never deserved to die.

All I have seen is the protection of nine officers in whose hands Sheku died. In his death Sheku has been criminalised and smeared, whilst we were told to keep silent.
So-called police sources have leaked to their hearts content, but now we have the Lord Advocate’s office, who we once believed in, also leaking.
Wolffe should be deeply ashamed of the total disrespect for our family, but what should worry him even more is that he has destroyed our confidence in justice.
He spoke to our lawyer but why did he not offer a public apology for the leak in Parliament rather than leaving it to Nicola Sturgeon to respond?
We are heartbroken but we will wait to see what he has to say on Wednesday, but let me give him and those officers a warning – we will never give up fighting for the truth.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
