Manchester Arena inquiry: Spotting suspicious people ‘not top of my list,’ says steward

(BBC) A security steward who worked on the night of the Manchester Arena bomb has told the inquiry looking for suspicious people “wasn’t at the top of my list.”

The inquiry saw CCTV footage of Salman Abedi approaching Robert Atkinson nearly four hours before he killed himself and 22 others on 22 May 2017.

Mr Atkinson said he did not recall having a conversation with Abedi.

He was positioned on the footbridge leading from Manchester Victoria railway station to Manchester Arena’s foyer.
