Manchester Arena attack: Brother’s DNA ‘in bomb plot car’

(BBC) The DNA of a man accused of plotting the Manchester Arena attack was found on items in a car used for storage ahead of the blast, a court heard.

Three drums, used to store packs of nails, were found in the Nissan Micra, which scientists discovered contained Hashem Abedi’s DNA or fingerprints.

Hashem, 22, is on trial at the Old Bailey, accused of helping his brother Salman plan the bomb attack.

He denies 22 murders, attempted murder and conspiring to cause explosions.

Twenty-two people were killed when Salman detonated a homemade bomb on 22 May 2017.
