The sister of Yousef Makki has welcomed a High Court decision to quash a coroner's inconclusive finding following the teenager's stabbing.
Today (Friday) a judicial review criticised Senior South Manchester Coroner Alison Mutch's verdict, where she said the precise circumstances of the death 'could not be ascertained' and dismissed demands to find he had been unlawfully killed, and ordered a fresh inquest. The talented Manchester Grammar School pupil, 17, from Burnage, was fatally stabbed by a pal who said he acted in self-defence almost four years ago.
After senior judges set aside the original conclusion and ordered a new inquest, Yousef's sister Jade Akoum slammed the original coroner who 'marched us to the top of the hill only to march us down again' as she appealed to the public to help pay for legal costs at the new inquest.
