Jihadi John dead: Mohammed Emwazi has been killed, but others will replace him

I firrst met the notorious Islamic State (Isis) killer Mohammed Emwazi in December 2010. Then he was a 22-year-old computer science graduate from west London. The impressionable Emwazi had been drawn into a network of British jihadists that was being closely monitored by MI5. When I knew him he was very angry, complaining that the security services had destroyed two serious relationships with women he intended to marry and had blocked him from returning to Kuwait, which he regarded as his home. I wanted to help but the planned article didn't work out and we lost contact with each other in March 2011.
