Haines, whose husband was killed in September, adds that “people of his kind believe that death in combat is an honour, something special.” She said that “I think it would be better if he would end up in court.”
The militant known as Jihadi John appears speaking in several videos of beheadings. He has
been identified as Mohammed Emwazi, a London-raised university graduate in his mid-20s.
