BREAKING: Yousef Makki’s family WIN appeal for new inquest into stabbed teenager’s death
The family of Yousef Makki have today won their appeal for a fresh inquest into his fatal stabbing in 2019.
Molnar, now 21, was handed a 16-month detention and training order after admitting possessing the knife which inflicted the fatal injury and lying to police at the scene. He says he acted in self-defence, alleging Yousef pushed him and pulled a knife on him. A jury acquitted Molnar of murder and manslaughter following a trial.
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. 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.
