A fresh inquest is being heard into the death of Yousef Makki, who was stabbed in Greater Manchester.
A teenager arrested after a 17-year-old grammar school boy was fatally stabbed deleted 47 items from his phone before it was seized by police, an inquest has heard.
Adam Chowdhary, 17, at the time, was with both of them at the time of the stabbing and had bought the knife used in the incident.He deleted items from his phone before it was seized by police and gave a "disingenuous at best, dishonest at worst" account to officers at the scene, the inquest heard. Molnar told his criminal trial that knives were produced after they argued and there was a "coming together".
Mr Chowdhary is seen in the footage suggesting to officers he was pre-occupied with his phone and the first he became aware something was wrong was when Yousef, bleeding from his wound, said to him, "look what happened", and lifted his shirt. John Mulvihill, a retired detective inspector, said before Chowdhary had his phone seized 47 items, call records or messages, were deleted from it, and agreed it was a "concerted effort".
