stabbing

Two people died and several were wounded during the attack on the northern English city’s Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue after the attacker rammed his car into the gates and began stabbing people, police said.

Of his own involvement, he described punching Stephen but denied stabbing him.

However, the parole hearing on Tuesday heard confirmation that he had admitted involvement since being in prison, but denies stabbing Stephen or using a knife.

Greater Manchester Police and counter terrorism officers investigating the attack have said Al-Shamie left the synagogue on foot and returned in a car, driving at and then stabbing worshippers.

Mr Daulby, 53, and Mr Cravitz, 66, died in the attack after the attacker drove a car at members of the public before stabbing people on Thursday morning.
