THE dad of a stabbed 17-year-old boy was seen arriving at court today – as two boys face trial over the private schoolboy’s murder.
Yousef Makki, 17, was knifed to death on a street in Hale Barns, a leafy village south of Manchester popular with top footballers and celebrities.
Manchester United players Paul Pogba, Victor Lindelof and Fred live in the upmarket Cheshire village, where houses fetch up to £5million.
The youngster, from an Anglo-Lebanese family from Burnage, Manchester, had won a scholarship to attend the prestigious £12,000-a-year Manchester Grammar School and dreamed of becoming a heart surgeon.
A 17-year-old boy has pleaded not guilty to his murder on March 2.
A second defendant, also aged 17, denies perverting the course of justice and conspiracy to commit robbery.
Neither defendant can be named because they are aged under 18.
A trial before Mr Justice Bryan, scheduled to last two weeks, will begin later today at Manchester Crown Court.
