Following a fatal attack at a synagogue in north Manchester on Thursday, police have identified the two men who died as Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66. Formal identification is pending, though their families have been notified and are in contact with family liaison officers. The individual named by police as the alleged attacker is Jihad al-Shamie, 35, a British citizen of Syrian descent.
Greater Manchester Police reported the arrest of three additional individuals—two men in their 30s and a woman in her 60s—on suspicion of commissioning, preparing, and instigating acts of terrorism. In response to the incident, authorities have announced heightened security measures for synagogues and Jewish community centers in the coming days. This includes a high-visibility police presence in Jewish communities across north Manchester, Bury, and Salford, along with increased visits to local places of worship.
