Yousef Makki was a talented and sporty schoolboy who was stabbed to death in a leafy Greater Manchester village just over three years ago.
Yousef, 17, from Burnage, south Manchester, was knifed in the chest by his pal Joshua Molnar, also then 17, during a confrontation in Hale Barns on March 2, 2019. Just 15 weeks later, former public schoolboy Molnar, now 20, from a wealthy family in Hale, went on trial at Manchester Crown Court charged with murder and manslaughter.
Molnar and another youth involved in the incident, Adam Chowdhary, had led double lives, playing “middle-class gangsters” listening to Drill music, smoking cannabis and carrying knives despite both coming from wealthy Cheshire families and living in a low-crime area, the trial heard.
