(BBC) Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has said the families of the Manchester Arena attack victims must be given answers about how the suicide bomber’s brother was able to attack prison guards.
On Saturday, Hashem Abedi threw hot cooking oil and stabbed three prison officers with blades at high-security HMP Frankland in County Durham.
Mr Burnham told BBC Radio Manchester he was “surprised” that the convicted killer had access to cooking oil and that he would do all he could to ensure there was accountability.
He said: “Abedi cannot be at liberty to carry on causing harm to other people. That’s the thing I can’t get my head around. But I’m glad there has been the ordering of an inquiry.”
