Joshua Molnar fatally stabbed Yousef Makki but has already been cleared of murder and manslaughter.
A man who fatally stabbed his friend in what he said was a case of self-defence has denied "lying" in order to make the dead boy come across as "aggressive".
These involved Molnar's initial statements and evidence he gave in his criminal trial and in the first inquest. "You are increasing the detail of what happened to show Mr Makki was being more aggressive... that you are lying to show it was self-defence.""I can only put it down to an issue with my memory."He said four years had passed since the incident, and that his evidence had been "more accurate" at his criminal trial."He didn't hit you, he may have been goading you and you then pull a knife," the coroner said.
