Daniel Burke disappeared from the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine in August before his body was later found miles from the frontline with multiple gunshot wounds.
A British fighter who travelled to Ukraine to help the war effort was unlawfully killed by a 'comrade', an inquest found today.
Abdelfetah is now wanted by police after fleeing the war-torn country. Police have not discussed a possible motive. The inquest was told Mr Burke had previously travelled to Syria to fight against Islamic State, after being 'heavily affected' by events in Manchester in May 2017, when 22 people died in the Manchester Arena bombing.
On August 11, Mr Burke spoke to his family in the morning and planned to contact them over Facetime later that day, she said. He led police to Mr Burke's body and told them he had accidentally killed him during a training exercise. 'Whilst there was evidence initially presented that it was an accident, I reject that based on evidence gathered by Ukrainian authorities and GMP,' Mr Golombeck saidIn a statement read out by Greater Manchester Police, Mr Burke's family said they are 'still yearning for answers' about what happened to him.
