Aine Davis, who was suspected of being a member of a death squad dubbed ‘The Beatles’ from the so-called Islamic State, has been jailed at the Old Bailey for eight years for terrorist offences.
Davis pleaded guilty last month.
He was arrested at Luton Airport last year after being deported from Turkey.
Davis has always denied being connected with The Beatles cell – so-called because of their British accents – which tortured and beheaded Western hostages in Syria.
Two Beatles members, British nationals El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Kotey, are serving life in US jails.
The third Beatle, Mohammed Emwazi, dubbed Jihadi John, was killed in a drone strike in 2015.
Davies left his home in London in 2013 and set off to join the conflict in Syria, having previously converted to Islam and spent time in the Middle East.
