In 2014 he was arrested on suspicion of encouraging terrorism, but released for lack of evidence and immediately made break for syria and joined isis, tweeting what a shoddy Security System britain must have to allow me to breeze through europe to the Islamic State. Later using his isis name, he posted a photo of himself holding a gun and his fifth child. In the recent isis video that apparently shows t t execution of five men, the man is masked. In it he taunts the British Government. How strange it is that a leader of a small island his sister cant be sure the man is her brother. I think its hard to say given what i have seen. My honest opinion is that it might not be. Many others who knew him think it probably is. One of the hundreds of british citizens now in syria including this little boy who appears at the end of the voideo, he is thought to be about fr years old.
