David Haines 'beheading': Recap of updates after ISIS release video showing execution of British hostage

• Mr Haines was taken hostage while working for acted in Syria in March 2013
• Syria he was working to help "tens of thousands of people affected by the crisis"
• "This is a despicable and appalling murder of an innocent aid worker" - David Cameron

The so-called Islamic State (IS) released a graphic video showing the 44-year-old being murdered by a militant with a knife. The murderer speaks with a British accent and is believed to be the same man who beheaded US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff in recent weeks. Mr Haines, who lived in Scone before moving abroad, was taken hostage in Syria in March last year.First Minister Alex Salmond said the release of the video "has demonstrated a degree of brutality which defies description", adding: "It should be remembered that Mr Haines was in the region as an aid worker helping local people.

Personally I think that this has a strong message. The islamics are trying to get there point across but yet none of the media want to display what they have to say. They would behead a british citizen for no reason there is obviously a purpose to the attack.
