The brother of the Manchester Arena bomber has pleaded not guilty to carrying out “terrorist” attacks on prison officers at a maximum-security jail with hot cooking oil and makeshift weapons.
Hashem Abedi, 28, appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday by video link from HMP Belmarsh in south-east London. The prosecutor Jocelyn Ledward KC said the case had a terrorist connection and taken place during “a session where he was permitted to use cooking equipment”.
