The Manchester Arena bomber’s brother has been found guilty of helping commit the devastating attack.

Hashem Abedi was found guilty of 22 counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and conspiring with his brother to cause an explosion.

The jury took less than five hours to convict the 22-year-old, at the end of a seven week trial, the Manchester Evening News reports.

He now faces life in prison, for helping plan the devastating attack that claimed 22 innocent lives back in 2017.

Salman Abedi detonated a massive bomb at the entrance of the Manchester Arena during an Ariana Grande concert on May 22nd 2017.

He injured hundreds and killed 22 others – the youngest victim was just eight years old.

While Hashem was in Libya when it happened, the trial heard that he encouraged his brother to commit the attack, as well as helping him design the bomb and source shrapnel and chemicals for it.
