The family of Yousef Makki have today won their appeal for a fresh inquest into his fatal stabbing in 2019.
The 17-year-old's original verdict has been quashed and a fresh inquest is to be held in front of another coroner. The ruling represents a major victory for the Makki family's campaign for justice.
Yousef's friend Joshua Molnar was cleared of murder and manslaughter later in 2019, saying he acted in self-defence, and in 2021 a coroner ruled she could not reach a verdict of unlawful killing as the precise circumstances of the death 'could not be ascertained', a narrative conclusion which infuriated the Makki family.
