Manchester Airport Assault Trial: Jury Deliberates Fate of Two Brothers

 

Manchester Airport is trending in the United Kingdom because a jury has been asked to reach a majority verdict in the trial of two brothers accused of assaulting armed police officers at the airport. 

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad, both from Rochdale, deny all charges stemming from a violent incident captured on CCTV. 

One juror was discharged, leaving 11 to deliberate further on the case.

The court heard that CCTV showed Amaaz delivering multiple blows, including punches and kicks, while Amaad also appeared to strike an officer. 

A policeman was seen kicking Amaaz after he was tasered. 

The defence argued the officers used excessive force, while the prosecution described the attack as serious.

The judge confirmed majority verdicts would now be accepted. 

Deliberations are ongoing at Liverpool Crown Court.
