Overview
- Counter Terrorism Policing North West says more than 50 witnesses have been interviewed but several key eyewitnesses seen on CCTV have not been identified.
- Detectives want to speak to an elderly man in a wide‑brimmed brown hat walking with a young child, passing pedestrians, and motorists who stopped to help the injured.
- Inquests for victims Melvin Cravitz, 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53, are scheduled to open on Wednesday, 29 October, with the attacker’s inquest listed for Friday, 31 October.
- Investigators emphasize that locating all eyewitnesses is vital for the inquiry and to ensure access to welfare support for those who experienced the incident.
- The 2 October attack left two worshippers dead and three men injured before attacker Jihad Al‑Shamie, 35, was shot by armed police, and the IOPC has reported no apparent misconduct by the officers who fired.
