On March 2nd, 2019, Yousef Makki, a scholarship pupil at Manchester
Grammar school, was stabbed in the heart by one of his friends on a
quiet, leafy street in the wealthy Manchester suburb of Hale Barns.
The two boys who were with him as the 17-year-old lay dying from a
12cm deep knife wound were brought up in the affluent surrounding
areas and like Yousef had attended expensive public schools. But
unlike them, Yousef was not from a wealthy family. He grew up seven
miles and a world away on a council estate in Burnage and won a
life changing bursary to a prestigious grammar school. Just four
months after Yousef was killed, a jury found his friend not guilty
of murder or manslaughter. The outcome has been widely questioned,
raising issues of class, wealth, and privilege in the justice
system. Yousef died from a single stab wound to the chest. When his
sister, Jade, collected his blood-stained clothes and personal
possessions, he had a single pound coin in his pocket. This is
Jade's personal story of her brother and how the fight for justice
has transformed her life.
