A coroner today concluded that Yousef Makki was unlawfully killed.
The 17-year-old Manchester Grammar School pupil died after being stabbed in the heart by his schoolfriend Joshua Molnar in Hale Barns on March 2, 2019. After a criminal trial at Manchester Crown Court in July 2019, Molnar, now 22, was cleared of murder and manslaughter.
He told the jury he acted in self-defence after Yousef, from Burnage, pulled a blade on him first and 'came on' to his knife, during a row. Another friend who was involved in the commotion, Adam Chowdhary, was acquitted after the trial of perverting the course of justice.

After a campaign by Yousef's sister, Jade Akoum, the High Court later quashed the findings and ordered a second inquest with a new coroner. Today (October 25), that inquest concluded.
In a lengthy ruling, coroner Geraint Williams concluded that Yousef did not have a knife at the time of his death as claimed, and Molnar had not acted in self-defence. Mr Williams said he did not believe he needed to use
