British Volunteer in Ukraine Unlawfully Killed by Comrade, Inquest Finds

Daniel Burke, a former British paratrooper, was fatally shot by Abdelfetah Nourine, known as 'Jihadi Adam,' in 2023; the suspect remains at large.

Daniel Burke, 36, traveled to Ukraine to provide medical and humanitarian assistance during the ongoing conflict with Russia.
His body was discovered in September 2023 in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, a month after he was reported missing, with multiple gunshot wounds to the head, neck, and chest.
Abdelfetah Nourine, an Australian-Algerian dual national nicknamed 'Jihadi Adam,' confessed to the shooting but claimed it was an accident during a training exercise.
Ballistics analysis contradicted Nourine's claims, indicating the weapon used could not have been fired accidentally, leading the inquest to rule Burke's death as an unlawful killing.
Nourine fled Ukraine after being briefly detained, and his current whereabouts are unknown; Burke’s family continues to seek answers and justice.
