Prime Minister David Cameron has condemned the murder of Kenji Goto after Islamic State (IS) released a video which appeared to show the beheading of a second Japanese hostage.
Freelance journalist Mr Goto, 47, is seen kneeling in front of the British-accented figure known as Jihadi John before gruesome footage of his decapitated body is shown.
Mr Cameron said: “I condemn what appears to be the despicable and appalling murder of Kenji Goto. It is a reminder that ISIL is the embodiment of evil.”
It comes less than a week after news of the beheading of another Japanese man, Haruna Yukawa. IS had demanded a 200 million-dollar (£130m) ransom for the two men.
