The man accused of murdering 11 congregants in a Pittsburgh synagogue told police he wanted “all Jews to die”, authorities alleged on Sunday as the names of those killed in the deadliest attack against Jews on US soil were released by medical examiners.
Robert Bowers, a 46-year-old Pittsburgh resident, was apprehended at the scene, and an affidavit filed by Pittsburgh police said Mr Bowers told the officers who apprehended him that he was motivated by “his hatred for Jews”.
