Alexanda Kotey, part of the Islamic State kidnap-and-murder cell known as the “Beatles,” was sentenced to life in jail by a United States court on Friday.
Kotey, a former British national, pleaded guilty in September, admitting responsibility for the deaths of four American hostages in Syria.
He was captured by a Kurdish militia in Syria in January 2018 and handed over to US forces in Iraq before being flown to the United States in 2020 to face trial.
