An arrest warrant has been issued for Ismail Abedi, brother of Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi, who was convicted in his absence of failing to appear at the inquiry into the attack
Abedi was arrested by police the day after the attack and questioned for 14 days before he was released without charge.By the time of the attack he had moved out of the family home and he told police that he had called his parents and asked them to take the brothers back to Libya because he was concerned they had dropped out of education.
Sophie Cartwright QC, prosecuting, said a notice of the hearing on Tuesday had been sent to him at his last known address, telling him he had been found guilty, in his absence, of an offence under section 35 of the Inquiries Act. District Judge Jack McGarva told the hearing:"Not only has he been emailed but there has been a great deal of publicity. I am sure he will have followed what has happened in this court.
But he said there was an interest in making sure others in similar situations attend and meet their obligations and a warrant would allow Interpol to post a"wanted" notice. Kim Harrison, a solicitor at Slater and Gordon, who represents 11 of the victims' families, said:"Whilst we welcome the conviction of Ismail Abedi today we remain sorely disappointed that the conviction had to take place in his absence.
