Dundee brother pays tribute to Scots terror victim David Haines

Dundee brother pays tribute to Scots terror victim David Haines

The Dundee-based brother of beheaded Perth man David Haines has spoken of his devastation.

In a statement just hours after the release of a video showing his sibling’s brutal killing, Mike Haines said: “David…was murdered in cold blood.

“David was like so very many of us, just another bloke.

“Our childhood was centred around our family. Holidays in caravans and tents. Days away as a family, which we remember fondly.”

Mr Haines said David was “a good brother”, determined to help those in need.

“David was…there when I needed him and absent when I didn’t. I hope that he felt the same way about me.

“He was, in the right mood, the life and soul of the party and on other times the most stubborn irritating pain in the ass. He would probably say the same about me.

“He helped whoever needed help, regardless of race, creed or religion and during this time David began to decide that humanitarian work was the field he wanted to work in.”

Mr Haines described David as being “most alive and enthusiastic” when carrying out humanitarian work.

“His joy and anticipation for the work he went to do in Syria is for myself and family the most important element of this whole sad affair,” he continued.

“He was and is loved by all his family and will be missed terribly.”
