UK police name victims of Manchester synagogue attack
British police on Friday named the two men killed in an attack on a Manchester synagogue as Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, who were both local residents.
The men were killed on Thursday when a man drove a car into pedestrians and then began stabbing them outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in the city in northern England.
The attacker, since named as Jihad Al-Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent, was shot dead at the scene by armed officers.
“My deepest sympathies are with Mr.Daulby and Mr.Cravitz’s loved ones at this extremely hard time,” said Detective Chief Superintendent Lewis Hughes in a statement.
