Oct. 3 (UPI) -- British police on Friday identified the two victims killed a day prior in an attack targeting a north Manchester synagogue during Yom Kippur service as men from Crumpsall.
Greater Manchester Police named the victims as 53-year-old Adrian Daulby and 66-year-old Melvin Cravitz. Crumpsall is an outer suburb of Manchester, which is located about 200 miles northwest of London.
Authorities said formal identification of the victims was pending.
"My deepest sympathies are with Mr. Daulby and Mr. Cravitz's loved ones at this extremely hard time," Detective Chief Superintendent Lewis Hughes of Greater Manchester Police said in a statement.
