Mahmood Announces Inquiry Into Manchester Synagogue Attack Deaths
The inquiry will examine missed opportunities and sensitive security evidence after the attack killed two worshippers and injured three others, officials said.
- On Monday, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced a public inquiry into the deaths of Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, killed during a terrorist attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue during Yom Kippur in October 2025.
- Jihad Al-Shamie, a 35-year-old Syrian-born attacker, was on police bail at the time of the assault after arrests on February 13, 2025 for breaching a non-molestation order and September 21, 2025 on suspicion of rape.
- Melvin Cravitz died from multiple stab wounds, while Adrian Daulby was killed by a police bullet as he barricaded the synagogue doors; three other people were seriously injured.
- Mahmood stated the inquiry "will ensure that all evidence can be heard, including any sensitive national security material that could not otherwise be fully heard in the coroner's court."
- Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson previously apologized after internal reviews confirmed officers seized Al-Shamie's devices but failed to examine them for evidence of extremist content before the attack.
