The daughter of a British aide who was beheaded by Jihadi John says she was sick after watching the execution

The daughter of a British aide who was beheaded on camera by ISIS terrorist ‘Jihadi John’ has found out she was sick after watching his execution alone in a bathroom.

Bethany Haines, 23, said she turned to self-harm and alcohol after her father and humanitarian aid worker David Haines, 44, was killed in 2014.

It was the birth of her son Aiden, now five, that turned her life around and gave her purpose, Bethany revealed.

She was only 16 years old when her father was kidnapped by terrorists in Syria in 2013. More than a year later, ISIS released a propaganda video in which he was executed by Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John.

Bethany returned to Syria in October 2019 to understand her father’s recent movements and find answers about his death.

The student from Perth, Scotland told the Real Fix podcast that after being asked about the footage and its authenticity, she locked herself in a bathroom and watched the video alone. She remembers being physically ill afterwards.

Bethany said, ‘At first when you see it all I thought,’ this is too good [quality] to be real “. At first I thought,” oh ok, yeah whatever, they won’t really do it “.

“And it came more towards the end and the way they talked and the speech my father made and it was almost the look in his eyes that said to me,” You know what that actually is. “

She continued, “I was angrier than anything, and when the final scene was tailored to his remains it was more – I think I was physically ill with it that day.

After that it was more anger. I thought “this is not right”. It’s something that will stay with me forever. ‘

David was working as a humanitarian worker in a camp for locals who were forced to flee their homes when he was kidnapped on March 12, 2013.

Bethany found out a month later on April 6 and was initially told to remain silent about the kidnapping for fear of halting the rescue effort.

His execution was filmed and released in 2014. He and his colleague Alan Henning were murdered by four British militants in the so-called Beatles’ cell.

David was beheaded in 2014 after being detained by a four-man terrorist cell called “The Beatles”, which included Mohammed Emwazi – also known as Jihadi John (picture)
