Local MP Sandra Osborne has issued a statement following the horrendous assassination of Aid Worker, David Haines. She said "I am sickened at the disgusting, barbaric killing of David Haines. David Haines was somebody whose only purpose was to help innocent people who themselves were the victims of conflict. He was in Libya during its civil war in 2011, working as head of mission for Handicap International, which helps disabled people in poverty and conflict zones around the world.
Mr Haines was taken hostage while working for ACTED in Syria in March 2013, having previously helped people in Libya and South Sudan.
What they did to David Haines goes against all humanitarian principles and this barbaric crime must not remain unpunished. As the MP for Ayr Carrick & Cumnock my thoughts are particularly with his family at this time who live locally within the constituency."
