The mother of Yousef Makki tragically died herself just over a year after her son was stabbed to death. Her family said she died 'with a broken heart.'
Debbie Makki's life was torn apart when 17 year-old Yousef, who had won a scholarship to Manchester Grammar School, was knifed by a pal in the affluent south Trafford village of Hale Barns. Talented Yousef, from a humble family in Burnage, south Manchester, was stabbed through the heart with an illegal flick blade during an altercation on March 2, 2019.
One of Yousef's friends, Joshua Molnar, was later acquitted of his murder at a Manchester Crown Court trial. Molnar, from Hale, was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter after telling a jury Yousef pulled a knife on him and that he acted in self-defence.

Adam Chowdhary, also 17 at the time, from Hale Barns, was handed a four-month detention and training order after he admitted possessing a flick-knife.

She bravely recalled how it felt to not be able to hold him because his body was now considered to be evidence.
