Isis victim’s brother in bid to testify

- BY CHRIS HUGHES

THE brother of Scottish Isis victim David Haines wants to give evidence to help the prosecutio­n of two of Britain’s most notorious terror suspects.

Mike Haines has given a statement to British police and will travel to the US if needed. David was murdered in Syria in 2014.

Londoners Alexanda Kotey, 36, and El Shafee Elsheikh, 32, faced a US court for the first time on Friday. They denied conspiring to murder four US hostages.

Mike told The Times he thought he had informatio­n that could prove crucial to the prosecutio­n.

He added: “I try not to have hate. Every day I have a daily battle with hate but if I do hate, I am not honouring my brother.”
