New Footage Charts Minutes Before Manchester Synagogue Attack as Terror Probe Extends Detention of Four

Detectives are probing whether extremist ideology motivated the attack.

Overview

  • New CCTV and doorbell video shows Jihad Al‑Shamie leaving the area at 9:22 and returning by car at 9:26 before ramming worshippers and launching a knife attack; police were alerted at 9:31 and shot him minutes later.
  • Counter Terrorism Policing North West secured warrants of further detention for four suspects—men aged 30 and 32 and women aged 61 and 46—on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.
  • Greater Manchester Police say the attacker may have been influenced by extreme Islamist ideology and was not previously known to counter‑terrorism units.
  • Neighbours report they raised concerns in 2020/21 about perceived radicalisation and preaching to children, a claim GMP disputes as it rejects suggestions he had been reported for extremist behaviour.
  • At Adrian Daulby’s funeral, mourners praised his effort to block the synagogue doors; investigators are reviewing whether police gunfire caused his death, three others remain seriously injured, and the attacker’s suspected suicide device was found to be fake.
