Manchester Airport Brothers Case Ends

The Manchester Airport brothers case has officially closed after prosecutors decide against a third trial for the two siblings accused of assaulting a police officer. Two previous juries deadlocked, and a judge entered not guilty pleas in May. While Muhammad Amaad walks free, his brother Mohammed Fahir Amaaz remains jailed, facing sentencing for separate charges including headbutting a civilian and attacking two female officers during the same incident. The confrontation, captured on CCTV in July last year, sparked protests after footage showed PC Marsden kicking Amaaz after he was tasered — the brothers claimed self-defense. Despite public outcry, the CPS, acting at the highest level, determined a retrial would be highly exceptional and not in the public interest. Police chief Sir Stephen Watson supports his officers, acknowledging the legal hurdles and cost of two prior trials. Amaaz’s sentencing is set for June 26th.
