ISIS fanatic jailed over beheading of two hikers hangs himself

An fanatic who was sentenced to death over the gruesome beheading of two Scandinavian hikers in Morocco has hanged himself inside his prison cell.

The body of convicted terrorist Abderrahim Khayali, 36, was discovered by guards at the prison in Oujda, a city in northeast Morocco, on Tuesday morning.

Khayali was among four convicted ISIS militants jailed and sentenced to death in 2019 over the horrific murders of Norwegian Maren Ueland, 28, and 24-year-old Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, from Denmark, in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains.
