Jihadis loyal to the Islamic State in Egypt claim to have brutally beheaded the Croatian hostage who was seen begging for his life in a chilling video message released last week. Depraved ISIS supporters took to social media to share a photograph purporting to show the body of 30-year-old Tomislav Salopek, who has been held by militants in Sinai province since July 22 after being kidnapped in the capital Cairo.
The gruesome image appears to show Mr Salopek's severed head placed on his back - a trademark of ISIS militants who have brutally beheaded at least seven Western hostages over the past year. Buried in the sand next to his bloodied corpse is the chilling black and white flag used by ISIS. So far ISIS has not released video footage of Mr Salopek's beheading, although ISIS sympathisers are speculating that one will appear online shortly.
Last week a video was shared ISIS sympathisers, showing Mr Salopek wearing a yellow jumpsuit and kneeling before a knife-wielding masked man wearing military fatigues. Reading from a note, the captive identifies himself as a Croatian national and says ISIS fighters captured him on July 22. See more photos below....
