Abedi verdict 'will give overwhelming sense of justice' to those affected by the Manchester Arena attack

The parents of one of the 22 victims of the Manchester Arena bombing have spoken of their overwhelming sense of justice for the "heinous crime", but no end to the pain it caused.

Bereaved families had watched the trial of Hashem Abedi at the Old Bailey and by video link in courts in Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds and Newcastle.

Following the guilty verdict, Paul Hett, whose son Martyn Hett, 29, was murdered in the blast, thanked police and security services for bringing Hashem back from Libya to face trial.

Speaking in Manchester, he said: "This verdict will not bring back the 22 victims murdered by Salman and Hashem Abedi.
