In a shocking turn of events, a second inquest has concluded that the 2019 stabbing death of schoolboy Yousef Makki was indeed an unlawful killing, overturning the original inquest’s findings. Joshua Molnar, the friend accused of the stabbing, had previously been cleared of murder and manslaughter charges, claiming self-defence during the trial.
Yousef Makki lost his life on March 2, 2019, after being stabbed in the heart by Joshua Molnar in Hale Barns near Altrincham. The initial inquest in November 2021 ruled out both unlawful killing and accidental death, citing insufficient evidence to determine what happened.
