They have been left at intersections throughout the areas of the city that the death cult is battling to defend against Iraqi government forces.

Many of those murdered were said to have been tortured to death by electrocution.

Iraqi media are also reporting of one incident where an ISIS fighter became so enraged at his brother's death in battle he stormed into a house and murdered a family of six, including a child.

ISIS has also said it has beheaded six of its own fighters for deserting the battlefield at Kokjali, near Mosul, the UN revealed.

And Human Rights Watch has reported that retreating terrorists have carried out three chemical attacks on the Iraqi town of Qayyarah.

Islamic State fighters are reportedly stockpiling ammonia and sulphur in civilian areas, possibly for use as chemical weapons, U.N. human rights spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said.

A mass grave with over 100 bodies found in the town of Hammam al-Alil was one of several ISIS killing grounds, Shamdasani said, citing information gleaned from sources on the ground including a man who played dead during a mass execution.

The public executions were being carried out for "treason and collaboration" with Iraqi forces trying to recapture the city, or for the use of banned mobile phones or desertion.

People with explosive belts, possibly teenagers or young boys, were being deployed in the alleys of Old Mosul, while abducted women were being "distributed" to fighters or told they would be used to accompany Islamic State convoys, she said.

Remains of more than 100 decapitated people were unearthed on Tuesday near Mosul as murderous ISIS troops are chased out of their stronghold.

Rows of skeletons without heads were found by Iraqi troops in the grounds of the School of Agriculture on the outskirts of Hammam al-Alil.

Yesterday the terror group issued a hate video showing children executing adults.

This followed a warped propaganda production showing public crucifixions while pensioners and kids forced to murder prisoners.
