Manchester synagogue victims named as home secretary criticises pro-Palestine marches – latest

Next on Sky news, Mahmood is asked about the pro-Palestine marches that took place late on Thursday. She said:

I was very disappointed to see those protests go ahead last night.

I think that behaviour is fundamentally un-British. I think it’s dishonourable.

I would have wanted those individuals to just take a step back.

The issues that are driving those protests have been going on now for some time; they don’t look like they’re going to come to an end any day soon.

They could have stepped back and just given a community that has suffered deep loss just a day or two to process what has happened and to carry on with the grieving process.

Neighbours of the synagogue killer said he had lived there since around 2021, and one neighbour remembered a baby also living at the address but could not recall seeing a woman living there.

One woman told PA Media:

We used to see him out in the garden working out, doing weights, press ups.

He used to change his clothes. One day he would be wearing the full gown, to the floor and the next jeans and pyjama bottoms.

Another neighbour described how armed police arrived at the house around 3.15pm on Thursday.

A man, who would only give his name as Mike, 35, said he was visiting his mother’s house and was at the window and looked up to see police arrived.
