Sheku Bayoh was described by neighbours as a 'nice guy' and 'no trouble', but they said he 'wasn't himself' on the morning of his death and was seen fighting another man.

"First one was my son who was killed, then my friend, who was murdered in police custody," he said.

Neil Morgan, who lived opposite Mr Bayoh, said he saw his neighbour - who he knew as"Chris" - fighting someone in a nearby garden as he returned home from working a night shift at about 7am. "Then he turned around to me and he said: 'It's not even sharp'... and sort of poked it at my belly."Mr Morgan said he had not felt"threatened" by Mr Bayoh and instead his"biggest concern" was wanting him to"come home... come in and have a cup of coffee".
