Families of the hostages slaughtered in the desert by the vile ISIS Beatles torturer El-Shafee Elsheikh said their loved ones are "still alive" as they continue to "inspire" the world to defeat terrorism.
Elsheikh, a former British citizen, watched on from the dock as a Virginia judge handed him a life sentence today, which he will likely spend spend in a maximum-security lock-up known as the "Alcatraz of the Rockies".
The Sudanese-born Londoner - who prosecutors say was the group's lead torturer - was involved in kidnapping, abusing and executing 27 hostages - including UK and US journalists and aid workers.
