The 22 innocent victims killed in the Manchester Arena bombing five years ago

May 2022 marks five years since the Manchester Arena terror attack that shocked the world. Twenty-two innocent victims were killed by terrorist Salman Abedi when he detonated a suicide bomb in his backpack as concert-goers were leaving the Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017.

The victims ranged in ages with the youngest being just eight as families lost loved ones who were cherished schoolchildren, students, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, devoted men and women.

Hundreds of others were injured in the despicable attack and will never fully get over what happened. Hashem Abedi, the brother of Salman Abedi, was found guilty of 22 counts of murder. He was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 55 years.
