Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Hashem Abedi, the brother of the 2017 Manchester Arena concert bombing suspect, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to 22 counts of murder in connection to the incident.
Abedi, 22, is accused of helping his brother Salman Abedi conspire to denotate a suicide vest at the end of an Ariana Grande concert at the arena May 22, 2017. Prosecutors say he purchased bomb-making chemicals, assisted in buying a car to store materials for the devices and made the bomb's detonator tubes.
