Manchester Arena bomb plotter refuses to face families as they speak of 'world of chaos' | ITV News

The families of the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing have spoken of being thrown into a "world of chaos" but vowed “evil will never win”, as the homegrown terrorist behind the plot refused to face them.

Hasham Abedi, younger brother of suicide bomber Salman Abedi, had been brought to the court building from prison, but refused to enter the courtroom.

Judge, Mr Justice Jeremy Baker, added he was powerless to drag him into court.

The 23-year-old will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on Thursday for 22 counts of murder, one count of attempted murder encompassing the survivors, and plotting to cause an explosion likely to endanger life following his conviction by jurors in March.

It was left to family members of the 22 killed and dozens injured in the blast on May 22 2017 to describe how the Abedi brothers’ actions affected their lives.
