The elder brother of the Manchester Arena bomber has been convicted in his absence of failing to give evidence at the public inquiry into the attack.
The judge adjourned the case to August 2 and said if Abedi does not attend that hearing a warrant will be issued for his arrest.“There is a very high level of public interest in ensuring people co-operate with public inquiries.”
“In the end it comes down to this: he was lawfully required to attend, he did not attend and there is no good reason for him not attending.” “His leaving the country should never have happened and, despite the conviction, he is unlikely to face any real justice until he is apprehended, if at all. He also had potential evidence to give, the inquiry heard, on the preparation of the bomb, given his DNA was found on a hammer in a car used to store the explosives.
