A fatal accident inquiry is to be held into the death of an asylum seeker who was shot by police after he stabbed six people at a Glasgow hotel. Badreddin Abdalla Adam Bosh, 28, attacked three other asylum seekers, two staff members and a police officer at the city's Park Inn on 26 June 2020.
Bosh, from Sudan, was shot by armed police and died in the incident in West George Street. The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has now lodged a first notice to begin the court process for a fatal accident inquiry (FAI). A preliminary hearing will take place at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 11 March.
Kenny Donnelly, deputy crown agent for COPFS, said: "The lord advocate considers that the death of Badreddin Abdalla Adam Bosh occurred in circumstances giving rise to serious public concern. "The lodging of the first notice enables FAI proceedings to commence under the direction of the sheriff.

"An FAI will allow a full public airing of the evidence of the procurator fiscal's wider investigations with interested parties.
"The evidence will be tested in a public setting and be the subject of an independent judicial determination.". Mr Donnelly added that Bosh's family will be kept informed of "significant developments" as court proceedings progress.
