Families who lost loved ones in the Manchester Arena terrorist atrocity have accused the bomber's elder brother of showing them 'despicable contempt'.
They spoke out through a lawyer after a judge issued a warrant for the arrest of Ishmale Ben Romdhan, previously known as Ishmale Abedi. He was convicted in his absence last month of failing to comply with a legal notice requiring him to give evidence at the public inquiry into the bombing atrocity.
The 29-year-old, who was due to give evidence at the inquiry in October last year, was stopped by police at Manchester Airport on August 28, 2021, ahead of a flight abroad.
