A piece of metal found at Manchester Arena following the 2017 attack which claimed 22 lives was linked to the bomber's brother Hashem, a jury heard.

The strip found was found lodged in a piece of green fabric in the Arena foyer after Salman Abedi detonated an improvised explosive device, the court was told.

The cloth had allegedly been used to cover the top of the device inside his backpack. As the trial of his brother Hashem - who denies helping his sibling source chemicals and shrapnel for a bomb - resumed, jurors were told that small strip of metal found in the foyer was from a retail-sized Pride vegetable oil tin and that other pieces of the same drum were found at the Abedi family home in Fallowfield and at a city centre apartment
