Yousef Makki’s family will have to wait to discover whether a judicial review to quash the narrative conclusion of his inquest has been successful.
Grammar school student Yousef, 17, from Burnage, was fatally stabbed through the heart by his friend Joshua Molnar, during a confrontation in Hale Barns on March 2, 2019. A jury acquitted Molnar of murder and manslaughter later that year.
Molnar was handed a 16-month detention and training order after admitting possessing the knife which inflicted the fatal injury and lying to police at the scene. He says he acted in self-defence, alleging Yousef pushed him and pulled a knife on him.
