“The Manchester Bombing was an elaborate hoax”: why do some people believe terror victims are ‘crisis actors’?

22 people died in the 2017 Manchester Bombing, and over a thousand were injured.

Olivia Peden is joined by Belfast Telegraph journalist Kurtis Reid to find out why conspiracy theorists deny events like these.
