Former advocate and part-time sheriff Raj Jandoo has passed away at the age of 61, the Daily Record reports.

Mr Jandoo died from sepsis at Edinburgh’s Royal Infirmary two weeks ago. His death certificate revealed he had liver disease and lung cancer.

A funeral was held last week at Linn Crematorium in Glasgow.

In 2001 he published a report into the police and Crown’s handling of the murder investigation into the death of Surjit Singh Chhokar, who was murdered in Wishaw in 1998 by Ronnie Coulter. He accused the authorities of institutional racism, leading to a new approach to minority communities.
