A judge has granted permission for a full judicial review into the inquest of Yousef Makki.
The family of the 17-year-old - who was fatally stabbed in Hale Barns in 2019 - pushed for a review to quash the narrative conclusion recorded by a coroner following a seven-day inquest in November. They described the conclusion as 'disgusting' after Senior South Manchester Coroner Alison Mutch said she could not safely conclude the death was either unlawful or accidental.
An application was made to High Court by a QC acting for Yousef's father Ghaleb Makki. Today (May 18), at the Manchester Civil Justice Centre, the review was granted.
