"Melvin Cravitz, 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53, died in an attack on Heaton Park Congregation Synagogue on Thursday, Greater Manchester Police have said. Both men were Crumpsall residents attending the synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar dedicated to atonement and repentance. Three other victims remain in hospital with serious injuries. A neighbour of Cravitz called him a lovely, lovely bloke. She told The Telegraph: Oh my god. Melvin is a lovely, lovely bloke. I can't fault him."
"Friends of Cravitz, Elchonon and Hindi Cohen, said he was a figure around here, adding: If you saw Melvin you stopped and talked. Mr Cohen said: He was a lovely person. Always with a joke, always making a smile. He had his humour. Mrs Cohen added: He would visit us often. Before every festival we would have him over for a meal. He was very beloved."
