Lord Bracadale has resigned as chairperson of the Sheku Bayoh inquiry, more than two months after he refused to quit the post.
The Scottish Police Federation (SPF), which represents rank and file officers, had previously questioned the former judge’s impartiality.
The SPF raised concerns about Lord Bracadale’s private meetings with the family of Mr Bayoh.
The father-of-two was 31 when he died in May 2015 after being restrained by six police officers in Kirkcaldy, Fife.
