The twisted group decapitated the defenceless little girl in what they described as a 'punishment' for her mother’s behaviour.

The youngster was brutally murdered in Raqqa, Syria, ISIS's de-facto capital in the war- torn country.

A witness, who was too afraid to be named, said: “A mother told her four-year daughter to go home and she refused.

“And then the mother told her unintentionally 'go home and I swear to God that I will behead you if you don't'."
