'Vile synagogue attack monster married me... but lied about having family'

The hate-filled murderer wed the woman in an Islamic ceremony after telling her they could only be together if they were man and wife.

But Al-Shamie then repeatedly pleaded for her forgiveness — after admitting that he already had a wife and a child in Manchester.

The woman told how, at first, she was in love. But Al-Shamie went on to abuse her both mentally and sexually — constantly lying to her to keep his secret safe.

She said: “He was nice, then he was vile. It was his way or no way.”

The woman spoke out as it emerged Al-Shamie had relation ships with different women — and possibly more marriages.

He sent numerous pleading messages to her over a number of years. In one, which he sent after he admitted he was already married, he said: “Look I’m gonna be honest with you. I do have a wife and a baby son at home. I didn’t tell u because I really liked you and wanted u to be my 2nd wife but I didn’t know how uwud react.”

In another, he told her: “In Islam a man can have up to four wives but these days most women don’t accept it, but I shouldn’t have lied. It was wrong of me.”

He went on: “My first wife accepts and knows about us. Please forgive me for the lies.”

Al-Shamie, 35, was shot dead by armed police after launching a knife and car attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue last Thursday, killing two people and injuring four more.
