By Katie Stallard, in Sisak, Croatia
The widow of murdered aid worker David Haines has told Sky News the militants who killed her husband are cowards.
Speaking at their home in Sisak, Croatia, in her first television interview, Dragana Haines said: "They consider themselves brave, but that's not bravery.
"It's a cowardly act to behead someone who has his hands tied behind his back, who is kneeling.
"You are a coward if you are going to behead someone who is helpless. You're not even a human being.
"You must be a monster to do something like that."
Mr Haines grew up in Scotland and served as an aircraft engineer in the RAF, but he found his calling in humanitarian work.
He met Dragana, his second wife, in post-war Yugoslavia.
He was working for a German reconstruction charity, and she was a translator for the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
They married in 2010 and settled in Croatia, where their daughter, Athea, was born.
In March 2013, he was kidnapped while working for a French aid agency in Syria.
"Every day was a challenge," Mrs Haines said.
"Waking up in the morning and thinking OK should I be hopeful? Will it be a day when they will call me, or he will call me and say 'OK I'm free, I'm coming back'?
"Or will it be a day when they will call me and say something bad has happened?"
In June, Islamic State released a video showing Mr Haines, and warning he would be next to be killed.
"I saw him in the video," Mrs Haines said through tears.
