YOUSEF Makki's 'best friend' has lost a bid to be excused from giving evidence in person at a fresh inquest into the 2019 fatal stabbing.
Adam Chowdhary, through his lawyers, asked to be allowed to give evidence remotely via video link at a new inquest due to take place next month, revealing he has been diagnosed with PTSD and arguing he would give better evidence if he didn't have to face the Makki family, their supporters or the press 'all of whom in his mind hold him responsible for Yousef Makki's death.
But Coroner Geraint Williams said Chowdhary's legal team had 'got the law wrong' as he dismissed the application.
It means Chowdhary and the youth who fatally stabbed Yousef, Joshua Molnar, now aged 21, are both required to attend next month's inquest in person.
Manchester Grammar School (MGS) pupil Yousef, from a humble background in Burnage and aged 17, was stabbed to death by his friend Molnar in Hale, Trafford, on March 2, 2019.
