THE Brit daughter of an executed IS hostage fears a second member of The Beatles terror cell will apply to move to a UK jail.
Bethany Haines, whose dad David was killed by the gang in Syria, is concerned Alexanda Kotey will try to follow the lead of El Shafee Elsheik.

Elsheik, 37 — dubbed Jihadi Ringo — has asked for a move here from a US jail under the International Prisoner Transfer Program.
Like him, Londoner Kotey, 41, is held at US supermax ADX Florence in Colorado.
Bethany, 28, from Perthshire, who chose to meet Kotey in 2022 as part of his plea deal, said: “I’ve looked in his eyes. He’s evil.
“My biggest fear is that he will apply for a transfer. He will attack the West in some way even from inside a UK prison.”
Kotey, known as Jihadi George, admitted eight charges relating to the abduction, torture and live-streamed beheadings of IS hostages in Syria. He got life.
He, Elsheik, “Jihadi John” Mohammed Emwazi and “Jihadi Paul” Aine Davis were called The Beatles by hostages owing to their British accents.
The Ministry of Justice can refuse any transfer request.
