The "torturer-in-chief" of the ISIS Beatles terror cell found guilty of a hostage-taking plot that lead to the beheadings of US and UK citizens has been sent to die in a maximum security US jail.
El Shafee Elsheikh, 33, a former British citizen, was found guilty of the charges by a federal jury in Alexandria, Virginia in April after a six-week trial and hours of deliberations.
In convicting Elsheikh, the jury concluded that he was part of the cell - nicknamed "The Beatles" by their captives for their British accents - that had beheaded American hostages in Iraq and Syria.
