Revealed: First picture of ‘Jihadi John’ as an adult

The first known photograph has emerged of Mohammed Emwazi - the Islamic State militant known as “Jihadi John” - as an adult. The image of the man who went on to become the face of the notorious terror organisation is revealed in student records from his time at the University of Westminster. It comes after the 27-year-old was identified as the masked figure seen in several videos of hostages being beheaded. Sky News can also exclusively reveal details of Emwazi’s academic achievements during his stint at the university in London between 2006 and 2009.
