The parents of a teenage couple murdered in the Manchester Arena bombing have been told their deaths will be formerly registered in two days time - by a complete stranger, an MP has said.
Chloe Rutherford and Liam Curry's parents 'are being denied this final act for their children', their MP added, almost five years on from the atrocity.
Chloe, 17, and Liam, 19, both from South Shields in the North East, were described at the public inquiry into the attack as 'inseparable' teenage sweethearts.
They died side by side on May 22, 2017 after an Ariana Grande concert at the venue - two of 22 lives lost.
The inquiry heard they were 'beautiful young people' who had already mapped out their lives together.
The Manchester Evening News has asked the Home Office for a full explanation after Emma Lewell-Buck, the Labour MP for South Shields, spoke in the House of Commons on Tuesday and said Liam and Chloe's parents wanted to formerly register their deaths personally.
Their pain, she added, was 'unimaginable and constant'.
But, the MP said, they have been told that in two days time, it will be done on their behalf by a complete stranger.
Mrs Lewell-Buck urged the Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, to explain the situation - and urgently intervene.
She added that 'apparently' it's standard practice after a 'mass casualty event'.
The MP said: "Chloe Rutherford and Liam Curry, from South Shields, were tragically murdered in the Manchester Arena terror attack.
"Their parents' pain is unimaginable and constant.
"After sitting through hours of the inquiry, they have been told that in just two days time the registration of their precious children's deaths will not be done by them, but by a stranger.
"Apparently this is standard practice for
