Family of teen killed in Syria "didn't know he was there"

The family of Abdullah Deghayes, who has been killed in Syria, say they had no idea that he had travelled to the country.

His father, Abubaker Deghayes, is believed to have found out about his sons death via Facebook.

He also said he thought his son was visiting family in Libya.

Abdullah, from Brighton, is believed to have died earlier this month.

The circumstances surrounding his death are not yet clear.

His Facebook page says he went to school in Rottingdean and was set to go to the University of Brighton next year.
