The daughter of a Scottish care provider who was murdered by the Islamic State 11 years ago, has unveiled the heartbreaking latest SMS messages that she sent him before he heard that he was hostage.
Bethany Haines was only 15 when her father David was abducted in 2013 by the terrorist group in Syria.
He was beheaded a year later and the murder was posted online, but his body was never found.
Five of the men who are accused of their involved in the terrorist cell have now ended up in France, where Mrs. Haines was expected to read the last texts she sent to her father yesterday to begged to begged him to answer her .
She said she wanted them to hear the impact that had their alleged actions on her as a teenager.
In one of the heartbreaking messages, she lets her father know how she did in her first exam and says that he must 'stay safe'.

But if there is no answer, she will send another question: 'Hey, Dad. Did I irritate you? If I have it, I'm sorry. '
While she starts to panic, still not aware of what happened, she encourages him to call her and tells him 'I love you'.
They text later: Dad, I need you. I had a terrible day. I miss you, dad. I'm sorry. Call me. '
But three weeks later, when there is still no response, she tied up again in despair and said: 'Daddy, I need you. Dad, are you there? '
'Daddy, you scared me. Where are you, Dad? '
Mrs. Haines, who is now 27, read she yesterday for ITV news when she revived when she realized that her father was hostage.
She said: 'It was on my 16th birthday that I realized that he had either killed or that something terrible had happened. And the next day when I was told about his kidnapping. '
The men who are tried in Paris are the French jihadist Mehdi Nemmouche, 39, who in 2014 employs a life sentence for an attack on a Jewish museum in Brussels in which four people died. On the first day of the trial on Monday in which five defendants are accused of running a 'hostage factory' in Syria, he denied that he was an Islamic prison and torture.
Mrs. Haines said: 'These men were not only prisoners. They actively fought in conflicts … It is important to let them know that it is not just a small number of affected people.
'These men have caused the most damage they could have in a very short period.
“And the fact that they feel nothing and that nothing will admit, just show that, you know, these people have no conscience and deserve the maximum fine.”
Her father was captured just a few days after arrival in the country torn by war and was executed the following year, making the brutal murder in a propagandavideo.
The main executioner of the group was Mohammed Emwazi, a British terrorist from London who was called 'Jihadi John' before he was killed by a drone in 2015, 27 years old.
Mrs Haines said that picking up her father's body would be a “big conclusion for this terrible event,” “not only for my father, but also others.”
But her priority, she emphasized, was to ensure that her young son never gets to see the video of the murder of his grandfather who left her traumatized.
She said: 'The fear I have from him sees one day that is something that grows every day as he gets older.
'There is a whole series of sites that show different Snuff videos with people who comment on them and not only beheading videos, but children, women, animals, ordinary people who are murdered for the pleasure of other people. And that is something that should not be allowed. '
The Paris trial is planned to last until March 21 and it plans to attend the majority of these.
