Yousef Makki's heartbroken sister 'wants to forgive' friend who imported knife that killed him
24.04.2022 - 10:09 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Jade Akoum could be forgiven if she was consumed entirely by rage - she has had to endure tragedy and pain only few can imagine: the loss of her younger brother Yousef Makki, the talented Manchester Grammar School pupil stabbed to death aged just 17; the death of their mother Debbie from a 'broken 'heart'; and a burning feeling of injustice.
Yet she is not defined by anger - far from it.
Amazingly, she wants to meet the boy who killed her brother and the boy who bought the knife that inflicted the fatal injury, boys from privilege and wealth a millions miles from the humble world of the Makki family, who could not have dreamed about sending Yousef to MGS without the bursary that made it possible.

Yousef, from Burnage, was stabbed through the heart by Joshua Molnar, the privately educated son of wealthy parents from Hale, on a leafy lane in affluent Hale Barns on March 2, 2019. Both were 17.
A jury acquitted Molnar, now 20, of murder and manslaughter in 2019, although he was handed a 16-month detention and training order after admitting possessing the knife which inflicted the fatal injury and lying to police at the scene. By their verdict, the jury accepted he acted in self-defence.
His co-defendant at the 2019 trial, another MGS student, Adam Chowdhary, now 19, from Hale Barns, who described Yousef as his 'best friend', was acquitted of perverting the course of justice. He was given a four-month detention order after admitting possession of a flick knife, one of two he claimed he and Yousef had jointly ordered
