Finland detains Iraqi twins over IS massacre in Tikrit

10 December 2015 Europe

Police in Finland have detained Iraqi twin brothers suspected of featuring in a video of a massacre carried out by the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.

Investigators said the 23-year-olds are suspected of killing 11 people in the Iraqi city of Tikrit in June 2014.

They arrived in Finland in September, police said, and were arrested in the south-western town of Forssa.

Chief Inspector Jari Raty said that in the video the two suspects "were not masked".

"The victims were lying on the ground and they were shot one by one," he told Finnish broadcaster YLE.
