The widow of a British aid worker killed by Islamic State militants said she would like to see ‘Jihadi John’ captured and put on trial.

Dragana Haines told The Associated Press in a phone interview on Friday from her home in Croatia, that “I really hope he will be caught, I think it would be a good lesson for all.”

The militant known as ‘Jihadi John’ appears speaking in several videos of beheadings. He has been identified as Mohammed Emwazi, a London-raised university graduate in his mid-20s.
