The eleven-year-old daughter of a hostage killed by so-called Islamic State has faced one of the men responsible for her father’s death and told him: “It’s not easy to be the girl in school whose dad was killed by terrorists.”
Athea Haines, 11, who was just four years old when she lost her father David when he was murdered in Syria, appeared in court in the US at the sentencing of Londoner Alexanda Kotey, who was jailed for life after admitting his role in the plot.
