(BBC) A request by the Manchester Arena bomber’s elder brother to be given immunity in return for speaking to the attack inquiry has been denied.
Ismail Abedi, 27, from Manchester, had refused to answer any of the inquiry’s questions and claimed a general privilege against self-incrimination.
An immunity application was made to the inquiry’s chairman Sir John Saunders.
Refusing it, Sir John said any failure to prosecute may be seen as “a considerable affront to justice.”
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds were injured on 22 May 2017 when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert.
