A former senior detective told the inquest into the fatal stabbing of Yousef Makki that he decided to make his friends official suspects because they had been 'clearly lying' at the scene.
Yousef, a 17-year-old bursary student at Manchester Grammar School from Burnage, died after being stabbed in the heart by friend Joshua Molnar in Hale Barns, Trafford, on March 2, 2019.
Mr Molnar, also 17 at the time but now 19, from Hale, was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter following a trial at Manchester Crown Court.
