Police Missed Critical Phone Evidence | Manchester News
Description
Manchester police are under fire after discovering mobile devices belonging to the Heaton Park synagogue attacker were seized but never examined before his deadly rampage — despite him being arrested twice prior to the attack. Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson admitted the missed opportunity, apologized deeply, and pledged an internal review. The Community Security Trust called the failure distressing but praised officers’ bravery on the day. An independent review is now underway, as another plotter, Mohammad Bashir, received a 17-year sentence for planning a separate attack. The attacker was killed by police during the Yom Kippur massacre that claimed two lives.
