BREAKING: Brother of the Manchester Arena suicide bomber sentenced to a minimum of 55 years in prison for the murder of 22 people and helping to plan one of the deadliest terror attacks in British history.
was sentenced to a minimum of 55 years in prison on Thursday for the murder of 22 people and helping to plan one of the deadliest terror attacks in British history.
Hashem Abedi, the younger brother of suicide bomber Salman Abedi, who also injured 100 others when he blew himself up in 2017 at the arena in Manchester, England, shortly after an Ariana Grande concert. Abedi refused to enter the courtroom at London’s Central Criminal Court, known as the Old Bailey. The judge, Mr Justice Jeremy Baker, said he would have received a full life sentence if “like his brother, had been 21 or over at the time of the offence."
He said his crime showed a significant degree of premeditation and was motivated by a desire to advance the ideology of Islamism,"a matter distinct to and abhorrent to the vast majority for those who follow the Islamic faith." He added that Abedi should “clearly understand the minimum term he should serve is 55 years,” adding that he may never be released.The sentencing came after a series of emotional statements from families of the victims were read out in court on Wednesday.Sign Up
