16 people have now been arrested since the bombing following an Ariana Grande concert last Monday evening, with 14 remaining in custody.

Further searches are likewise ongoing at properties at Whalley Range in Manchester and at a property in the city of Chester, some 45 miles further west. No arrests have been made at either of those addresses.

Manchester police yesterday released CCTV footage of 23-year-old Abedi prior to his detonating the bomb that devastated the foyer of the Manchester Arena, and gave details of the bomber’s final hours.

A flat at Granby House in Manchester centre is now believed to have been the final assembling place for the explosive device.
