The Prime Minister has written a personal letter to the mother of a British surgeon who died in Syria calling his death as a "sickening" tragedy. Dr Abbas Khan's sister told ITV News that helping to find answers is "the least" the government can do.
British surgeon Abbas Khan's body is being flown to London this morning, just days after he was found dead in his cell. Syrian authorities have claimed that the surgeon from Streatham in South London took his own life, but his family insist he was murdered.
Mr Khan was arrested 48 hours after arriving in Syria last November.
David Cameron has written to the mother of a British doctor who died in custody in Syria, describing his death as "a sickening tragedy".
The mother of British doctor Abbas Khan, who died after 13 months in a Syrian prison, has accused the regime of "murdering" her son.
Relatives of British surgeon Dr Abbas Khan have said they do not understand what led to his death just days before he was due to be released
