IS ‘Beatle’ Alexanda Kotey jailed for life

A British-born terrorist has been jailed for life in the US for his role in the killings of Western hostages in Syria.

Alexanda Kotey, originally from Paddington, west London, was one of four so-called Islamic State militants nicknamed The Beatles by their captives due to their English accents.

The 38-year-old Islam convert showed no emotion as Judge Thomas Selby Ellis delivered his verdict at Alexandria District Court, Virginia, while members of his victims’ families watched on.
