#El Shafee Elsheikh
Text
The two remaining members of [the ISIS terrorist cell] ‘the Beatles’, Davis and El Shafee Elsheikh, had a long history of involvement in gang culture before they went to Syria. 'Paul', as Davis became known by his victims in Aleppo, was born in Hammersmith where his father, who was from Gambia, had thirteen children with four different women. Davis spent part of his childhood with his grandmother in west Africa but settled in London at the age of seventeen, embarking on a life of selling drugs, joining a gang and acquiring a string of convictions for possession of drugs and firearms. He was a classic domestic abuser, fathering four children by two women, and abandoned his Moroccan wife Amal el-Wahabi when he went to Syria.
Davis had targeted el-Wahabi when he spotted her in tears at the mosque, sensing her vulnerability, only to dump her two months before the birth of their first child in 2009; he revived the relationship two years later and they had a second child, but Davis abandoned el-Wahabi again when he fled to join ISIS. As if she hadn't suffered enough, he then tried to pressurise her into bringing their children to Turkey, threatening to take another wife unless she made the trip. He also told el-Wahabi to start collecting money for ISIS, with disastrous results: when el-Wahabi attempted to trick a friend into smuggling the cash into Turkey on her behalf, she was arrested and tried for supporting a terrorist organisation. The judge, Nicholas Hilliard QC, told el-Wahabi that Davis had 'no true regard' for her and described her children, by now aged five and seventeen months, as ‘innocent victims’ of their parents. In August 2014, el-Wahabi was convicted and sent to prison for twenty-eight months, becoming the first person in the UK to be convicted of funding terrorism in Syria. By then her husband was on the way to becoming one of the world's most wanted men and would in time be accused, along with the other Beatles, of beheading almost thirty men.
