Manchester synagogue terror attack victims named as tributes paid at scene

Police officers have been seen surrounding an address in Greater Manchester, where terror attacker Jihad Al-Shamie is believed to have lived.

Armed police stormed the three-bed end-terrace council property on Langley Crescent on Thursday, after he killed two people outside a synagogue on Yom Kippur, Judaism’s holiest day.

The two victims have been named as 53-year-old Adrian Daulby and 66-year-old Melvin Cravitz, with both killed outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Crumpsall, after Al-Shamie drove into a group of people and stabbed a man.
