Daughter of murdered aid worker travels to Syria

The daughter of a British aid worker who was murdered by Islamic State terrorists has travelled to Syria to find answers over her father’s death.

David Haines, 44, was captured by extremists in 2013 while working for an international relief agency in Syria.

He was beheaded in 2014 after being held by a four-man terrorist cell dubbed “The Beatles”, whose members included Mohammed Emwazi – also known as Jihadi John.

Five years on from Mr Haines’ death, his daughter Bethany has travelled to one of the locations where her father is believed to have been killed.

Her trip will be broadcast on ITV Evening News at 6.30pm on Wednesday.

The footage of Mr Haines’ murder was posted online and turned into an IS propaganda video.
