Traumatised British spy sent to jihadist camp killed his own child

A British spy sent by MI6 to a jihadist camp despite warnings about his extreme vulnerability went on to kill his own child.

The man, then in his twenties, was vetted for his suitability for overseas work by the Secret Intelligence Service. It produced a report that said his emotional instability was the “highest it is possible to score”.

The leaked document said he had more in common with a psychotic person than an average member of the population on some traits and was at risk of severe shock and trauma.
