Crown Office finds lethal force ‘necessary’ after stabbing

In June 2020, three asylum seekers, two hotel staff and a police officer were stabbed

The decision by police to shoot dead a man who stabbed six people in an attack at a hotel in 2020 was “absolutely necessary’, according to The Crown Office.

An investigation into the events at The Park Inn Hotel found the use of lethal force by police failed to stop Badreddin Abdalla Adam Bosh.

The Procurator Fiscal found the actions of police were proportionate and there is no evidence of criminality on the part of officers involved.
