A major Manchester mosque has reportedly said its funeral service will not deal with the remains of suicide bomber Salman Abedi.
The Manchester Central Mosque, which provides traditional funeral services to its community, said its executive committee had agreed not to inter the mass murderer's body if asked, according to The Times. It came as it was claimed authorities in the city were doing "everything in their power" to ensure Abedi's remains will not be buried, cremated or otherwise laid to rest within Greater Manchester. A source also told the Manchester Evening News the bomber's body was being kept in a separate morgue from those of his victims.
The ultimate decision as to what happens to Abedi's body will lie with a coroner, according to the paper. OnWednesday, police said Abedi likely purchased most of the key bomb components himself and that many of his actions were carried out alone.
