Video footage and images online show the soldier lying on the ground surrounded by a pool of blood after being beheaded on Istanbul’s Bosphorus Bridge by a pro-government mob.

UK Mirror He can be seen with horrific injuries after the attack. He reportedly surrendered after last night’s failed coup attempt but was allegedly attacked by pro-government supporters.

More than 2,500 soldiers have been detained by Turkish authorities following the failed coup attempt. More than 180 people were killed with over 1,154 people injured after the Turkish military tried to take control of the country in an attempted coup.

This morning radical Islamist President Erdogan claimed he had regained control of the country.
