The man who bombed children and fans leaving an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena has been named as 22-year-old Salman Abedi.

Ian Hopkins, the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, said no further details could be given as the bomber has not yet been formally identified by a coroner.

“The priority remains to establish whether he was acting alone or as part of a network,” he added.

Local reports said Abedi was the child of Libyan refugees who moved to the UK to flee Muammar Gaddafi’s regime, and was one of four children.

Police blew open a door to access his home in Elsmore Road, Fallowfield, and carried out a separate raid in Whalley Range on Tuesday.
