The sister of Yousef Makki welcomes new inquest and slams the original coroner who 'marched us to the top of the hill only to march us down again'
The sister of Yousef Makki has welcomed a High Court decision to quash a coroner's inconclusive finding following the teenager's stabbing.
Yousef was fatally stabbed through the heart aged 17. From a humble background, the talented Manchester Grammar School pupil from Burnage was stabbed by his rich friend, Joshua Molnar, also 17, on leafy Gorse Bank Road in affluent Hale Barns on March 2, 2019. "We were so pleased to have achieved an inquest, but the coroner marched us to the top of the hill only to march us down again.
"We cannot be put on an uneven footing again as we were at the criminal trial. We know that this is a lot to ask at a difficult time for everybody. But please know that we are forever grateful for those that have helped us this far and those that may do so in the future. "If it was bad news today it would have been the end of the road but we're so happy to have been given another opportunity.
Family barrister Matthew Stanbury said: "It's taken nearly four years for Jade to get her first victory. For it to take four years to chalk up a win is a bad reflection on what happened before but we can look forward now. It's a step in the right direction and now we're back where we started, but we'd rather be here.
