LIVE: Judges decide whether to overturn Yousef Makki inquest verdict - latest updates
The Makki family continued with their campaign and successfully applied for a judicial review of the coroner's findings, which took place at Manchester's Civil Justice Centre in November last year before Mr Justice Fordham and Lady Justice Macur.
Representing Yousef’s family, Peter Weatherby KC told the hearing that Ms Mutch should have 'strived to make a finding' that Yousef's death was accidental or unlawful. He said: "In essence, the coroner found insufficient evidence on the balance of probabilities that he was unlawfully killed… we say that there was a wealth of evidence." Mr Weatherby referenced Molnar’s differing accounts that he said changed from what he told police at the scene in the immediate aftermath of the stabbing, to his trial, and then eventually the inquest.
During his trial, Molnar changed his story but said that Yousef had brandished his own knife first, before he got his out in self-defence. Then, during the inquest, Molnar said he could not remember who had taken the knife out first. Today the findings of the judicial review were being published. The appeal judges could decide to agree with the coroner's findings and endorse her conclusion, disagree with some of her findings but decide any errors do not alter her conclusions, or decide the inquest was so flawed a fresh inquest should be held.The result of the judicial review is due shortly
