We hope the public can make up their own minds as to how and why Yousef died that night." "All the facts were addressed in detail in both the high court trial and the inquest. All the details that they said and how he died and we weren't there for him and I'll never forgive myself that I couldn't be there. The precise circumstances in which he was wounded cannot, on balance of probabilities, be ascertained." That's what happens most of the time and, erm, the other week someone's tried to take my stuff." I voluntarily gave a full account to the police and gave evidence at the inquest. Or I see something, I see his pants or something and I'm like, whoa what's that?" "We've come round the corner. He later suggests those responsible had driven off in a silver hatchback. We've come round the corner and he's just fallen over. Molnar replies: "We were walking over the motorway.... We've come sprinting over and the guy was just coughing up blood...

Former Cheadle Hulme School pupil Molnar stabbed Yousef after a row over a cannabis deal that went wrong, the trial was told. It ended the promising life of ...
In the aftermath, Molnar described how he made an attempt to help Yousef, taking off his top and using it to try and stem the bleeding. It had been stolen from him and when it was found drugs were inside, a source close to his family said. He admitted he pushed Yousef after the jibe, and said Yousef answered with a punch. He was just five when he left his first private school, Hale Preparatory School, after a show of ‘aggressive behaviour’, the M. E.N. reported following the trial. Feeling ‘quite on edge’, “I have started to take a knife out of my pocket”, he said. It was on the rugby field, in school teams and with Altrincham Kersal RFC, where he played for their winning U-16 side, where he expressed himself, and found vent for his aggressive streak. Held at a £1m property, there was security at the gated entrance and youngsters from Greater Manchester’s independent schools made up the guests. Against a backdrop of increasing cannabis use, he began living what his own lawyer described as the double, fantasy life of a juvenile, ‘middle class gangster’, ‘playing around with knives’ and getting into fights. Molnar, now 20, was acquitted of murder and manslaughter following a trial later in 2019, telling the jury he had acted in self-defence. As the son of prominent business people Mark and Stephanie Molnar, so much more was expected of him. During his trial, the media were prevented from naming Molnar - the law seeks to protect children who come before the courts.

We hope the public can make up their own minds as to how and why Yousef died that night." "All the facts were addressed in detail in both the high court trial and the inquest. The precise circumstances in which he was wounded cannot, on balance of probabilities, be ascertained." His co-defendant at the 2019 trial Adam Chowdhary, now 19, from Hale Barns, who described Yousef as his 'best friend' at school, was acquitted of perverting the course of justice. Yousef was 17 when he was fatally stabbed through the heart by Molnar during the confrontation on March 2, 2019. He died on his own miles away from where he comes from and we were thinking he was safe." Molnar, who was later acquitted of murder and manslaughter, is from a wealthy family in Hale, near Cheshire, as he said he acted in self-defence. The police body-cam footage was played during the 2019 trial and at an inquest in 2021. Moments later the footage shows Chowdhary seated in the police car. He had removed his top to stem the bleeding from Yousef's chest injury until the emergency services arrived. He'd won a bursary to attend the elite Manchester Grammar School, reports the M. E.N. The footage was captured in Gorse Bank Road in Hale Barns, near Cheshire in March 2019.

They added that he was haunted by seeing his friend die in front of him and would have to “live with the responsibility of his role in this for the rest of his life.” Chowdhary told Channel 4: “I would like… “I was able to speak about Yousef, I was the first witness on day one and I was finally able to say everything I wanted to say about him… I was really shocked when it was, ‘Not guilty, not guilty’.” She would like to be able to ask: “Why did you come to that conclusion?” But juries are forbidden by the contempt of court law from telling anyone any details about their deliberations and decisions. They say Makki was not presented accurately at the trial, arguing that he was kind and friendly – and recall how they were alarmed when he became friends with Molnar, who would “video himself smoking weed and dressed up with a balaklava on”. Jade Akoum says: “During the criminal trial, he was portrayed in a really negative light and that’s not the Yousef that we knew, so we want to make sure the public knows what a good boy he was. He later told police in a prepared statement – obtained by the documentary team – that Makki was “very hot tempered”. He said Makki had called him a “pussy” during an argument in the street after the bridge incident and “swung” at him with a knife. While Makki’s family felt the the coroner’s narrative verdict was very “disappointing” and an “anticlimax”, they were glad the hearings had finally allowed them to present the dead teenager in the warmer and more sympathetic way they felt was fair and accurate. But last year a civil court found Murray, who has since changed his name, liable for “wrongfully and unlawfully causing Ryan’s death”. It was a “judgment in default” after Murray did not file a defence and was not cross-examined. We couldn’t even listen to that, we couldn’t process that information.” Jade Akoum says they complained at the court, but because the two boys in the dock were under 18, “the defendants have the priority and not the victim’s family”. She adds: “The family should feel like they’re part of the process. Ur a dead man”. But Chowdhary responded to this with a laughing emoji, writing “Do it man”, and Makki’s friends tell the documentary that this sort of behaviour was not serious. Chowdhary was found not guilty of perverting the course of justice, after his lawyers told the court he had been looking at his phone and had not seen the stabbing, and denied he had misled police. What has kept the case in the news – and what now makes it the focus of the new documentary – are not only the verdicts at Molnar’s trial but also the outcome of an inquest. “I don’t know,” repeats Molnar, but he speculates that they’re in a wealthy area – Hale Barns in Greater Manchester, home to millionaire footballers – and that burglars sometimes target the houses there.
