Hashem Abedi, the brother of Salman Abedi who killed 22 innocent victims and who also died in the blast in an attack at Manchester Arena in May 2017, has been found guilty on the charge of murder.

The jury returned the guilty verdict on Hashem today.

A number of the victims’ families are represented by Broudie Jackson Canter.

Elkan Abrahamson, Head of Major Inquiries at Broudie Jackson Canter solicitors, said:

Our clients welcome the jury’s decision but would not like these proceedings to divert attention from the question of failures by the security services and their refusal to provide full disclosure
