But Yousef's family battled for a second inquest into the teenager's death after a coroner previously concluded in 2021 he died of 'complications from a stab wound the precise circumstances of which cannot, on the balance of probabilities, be ascertained'.
He said the evidence did not show Molnar intended to kill or cause serious harm to Yousef and that it does not amount to murder, however also ruled out Molnar's evidence that he stabbed Yousef in self-defence - saying he did not honestly believe Molnar was made to use force. Coroner slammed both Molnar and Chowdary's evidence. Molnar had admitted lying to police at the scene by suggesting the attackers had fled in a car. Chowdhary had also told police in a 999 call he had seen a 'whip', or a car, leave the scene, but denied lying after saying he did not see Yousef being stabbed
Mr Williams ruled that Chowdhary was part of the commotion but there was no evidence to suggest he was part of the stabbing.
