An eighth person has been arrested in connection with the deadly terror attack on a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur, police say.
Greater Manchester Police say the 49-year-old man is arrested on suspicion of failing to disclose information regarding terrorist activity.
Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed and three people were seriously wounded in the attack that took place on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
“The suspected offense relates directly to the terrorist attack that took place at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in October. The loved ones of Mr Daulby and Mr Cravitz, as well as those seriously injured in the attack, have been updated on this latest development,” says Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts.
“We remain unwavering in our commitment to establishing the full picture behind the attack and getting answers for those affected, including the local community,” Potts says. “We are prepared to take swift, firm action where we suspect criminal offenses may have occurred.”
