An online image has emerged which appears to show a Croatian hostage held by an Egyptian affiliate of the so-called 'Islamic State' group beheaded.

The still image, shared by 'IS' sympathisers on social media, showed the apparent body of Tomislav Salopek, a married, 30-year-old father of two, wearing a beige jumpsuit looking like the one he had worn in a previous video.
