Al-Shamie, a father of three, is believed to have been married to at least three women.

He was on bail for a rape reported in December 2024 and was accused of a second sexual assault merely a month before the synagogue attack.

The disturbing details of his criminal history have come to light, revealing a conviction for possession of Class B drugs in 2012, according to Greater Manchester Police.

Additionally, he had received a street warning for cannabis use and was issued a penalty notice for shoplifting.

It is important to note that he was not known to counter-terrorism agencies.

It has now been disclosed that the terrorist was accused of rape by two women.
