Sickened relatives urge watchdog to use new block powers
THE brother of Isis beheading victim David Haines has begged for a "vile" death video website to be shut down.
Mike Haines spoke out with other families pleading watchdog Ofcom to act over the site – which has three million members – that hosts videos showing the deaths of their loved ones.
The platform, which we are not naming, contains graphic images of murders, suicides and terrorist executions including footage of aid worker David, abducted while working at a refugee camp in Syria in 2013 before being beheaded the following year.
A call from devastated families, including David's daughter Bethany Haines and Mike, comes as the Office of Communications gets new powers to probe and fine platforms for hosting illegal material.
