King visits scene of fatal Manchester synagogue attack

The King has visited the scene of a fatal attack at a synagogue in Manchester.

Father-of-three Melvin Cravitz, 66, was killed in the attack on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, along with Adrian Daulby.

Mr Daulby, 53, was believed to have been inadvertently shot by police as he ran to block the synagogue doors to stop the attacker getting inside to continue his knife rampage.

Attacker Jihad al Shamie, 35, called 999 during his deadly rampage, pledging allegiance to the so-called Islamic State terror group.

He drove his car at Jews gathering at the Heaton Park Hebrew Synagogue for the holy day of Yom Kippur, then attacked others with a knife and tried to storm the synagogue, wearing a fake suicide belt, before armed police shot him dead.
