(BBC) A bid to increase the prison sentence of the Manchester Arena bomber’s brother has been rejected.
Hashem Abedi, 23, was jailed in August for his part in the 2017 terror attack which killed 22 people.
An application to further extend his 55-year term on the basis it was “unduly lenient” was lodged.
But it did not meet the requirement for a review, meaning it was not passed to the Attorney General’s Office, a spokesman said.
The identity of whoever made the application has not been made public.
