VIDEO-What We Have Learned From IS Defector 'Saleh'

Former translator "Saleh" has spoken exclusively to Sky News about what he saw when he was with terrorist group Islamic State in Syria and before he fled to Turkey.

Here are the six main revelations from the interview:

1. The man nicknamed Jihadi John is indeed Mohammed Emwazi, the 26-year-old Briton suspected of killing a number of foreign hostages. And he is "the big boss", the only one who gives orders to others.

Saleh says Mohammed Emwazi is the murderer, Jihadi John

2. Emwazi is feared and respected within the group, possibly because he was prepared to kill foreigners.

3. Saleh is the only man to have seen Emwazi kill, and admit to seeing it. He said: "When he killed [Japanese hostage] Kenji Goto I saw this, but not near, from a little distance."
