Isis militants trained children to behead their victims using sinister home-made mannequins constructed from a girl's head taped to a plastic torso, according to Iraqi forces.
A macabre plastic body, which had a rubber child's head from another mannequin taped to its neck, was discovered face-down in the grounds of ruins of the heritage city of Hatra, which dates back more than 2,000 years and was seized from Isis hands last week.
'This figure was for teaching children how to slaughter people. They showed them how to use a knife to sever the head on this figure, so they would know how to do it on a real person,' Iraqi special forces soldier Ahmed told MailOnline with disgust.
'Then they taped the head back onto the mannequin to give the children further practice.'
