Mobile video footage of a hostage beheading

A man has been convicted of showing video footage of a hostage beheading in Iraq to a woman on his mobile phone, reports the BBC.

Subhaan Younis, 23, showed hotel worker Charlotte McClay graphic images of a man having his head sawn off.

He has been found guilty of committing a breach of the peace by showing explicit video images of the murder. In evidence Younis, a part-time shop worker, told the court that he had downloaded the images onto his mobile phone from the internet.

He claimed that he had told Ms McClay that he was going to show her a beheading and said he believed she was interested in seeing it."
