The coroner of the Asad Khan inquest has recorded a verdict that there is no evidence to suggest the 11-year-old was bullied at school.

Asad was found hanged by his mother at his home on Tile Street in Bradford, on 28 September 2016.

His family believe he was bullied at school and walked out of an earlier pre-inquest hearing over concerns about what evidence would be heard.

However, it has now been recorded that claims of bullying have been disproved by lines of inquiry.
