THE widow of a hostage murdered by Jihadi John and his terror gang has demanded to be allowed to deliver her own style of justice to the killers.
Aid worker David Haines was captured in early 2013 and then beheaded in early September 2014 by the so-called British "Beatles" ISIS cell.
Now after it was revealed the two remaining members of the gang had been captured fleeing Syria, his widow has called for the chance to settle the score.
“Bring those dogs to me,” said Dragana Haines, speaking from her native Croatia.
“Or take me to where they are and grant me six hours alone with each of them. I promise they’d be alive after I’m done with them. Not sure they’d want to be, though.”
Mr Haines and Alan Henning, both British aid workers, the US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and the American aid worker Peter Kassig were all murdered by the Beatles cell, who also posted videos of their gruesome deaths.
Brit Alexanda Kotey, 34, has now been detained alongside fellow Londoner El Shafee Elsheikh, 29, after being caught disguised as refugees.
The cell was led by Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, who was killed in a US airstrike in 2015. The fourth member is Aine Davis, who is in prison in Turkey.
The seizure of Kotey, a father of two from Shepherd’s Bush in west London, and Elsheikh, a former fairground mechanic who grew up in White City near by, had been kept secret for the past three weeks until it was reported by a US newspaper yesterday.
The British government is not expected to seek their extradition to stand trial in the UK, where both men still have family.
It means the alleged hostage-killers, who are being held by US-backed Kurdish forces in Syria, could be extradited to America or to a US detention centre in Cuba.
A minister urged against their detention in Guantanamo Bay, which has been criticised for its treatment of inmates.
Tobias Ellwood, a defence minister, said that all captured foreign fighters that are part of ISIS should stand trial in the Hague.
It is highly likely that MI6 or MI5 officers have been given access to the men or been allowed to question them through US interrogators.
A senior Whitehall source : “That is common practice. It is part of the close relationship with the United States.”
Data from mobile phones and other electronic equipment that the two men had on them is part of a potential “treasure trove” of information, according to sources.
The capture of the two men has also raised hopes of the possibility of learning the whereabouts of the last hostage held, the British journalist John Cantlie.
Sources close to the hostages’ families said they were delighted by news of the arrests and looked forward to justice being done.
Mr Cantlie was abducted alongside Jim Foley, the American journalist who was the first to be beheaded on video by Jihadi John.
