The family of Lamara Bell say their 'pain and loss won't stop' despite the settlement over police failings.

In a statement, the Bell family said the conclusion of the civil claim against Police Scotland was the end of "chasing answers, recognition and justice for six years".

"It is unfortunate Police Scotland did not admit its failings sooner as it might have spared them unnecessary distress but at least we do now have a conclusion and the Bells can rightly focus on themselves and times ahead." That led to Ms Bell and her boyfriend Mr Yuill lying in the car for three days, "unaided and exposed to the elements".The force admitted that the delay "materially contributed" to Ms Bell's death in hospital on 12 July.
