Shocking Facebook photos show transformation from a rapper on streets of London to prime suspect in brutal beheading of journalist

These pictures show the shocking slide into extremism of Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary from a London rapper to a brutal jihadist suspected of beheading a U.S. journalist.
Bary - nicknamed 'Jihadi John' - was a rising star who performed under the name L Jinny before leaving his parents' £1million home in Maida Vale to fight in Syria.
Now an album of pictures has emerged showing his fall from grace.

Bary has previously posted sickening images online of himself posing with the severed heard of a Syria soldier, accompanied by a joke.
Friends say Bary became radicalised after coming into contact with extremists linked to hate preacher Anjem Choudary.
A former friend said: 'He had the talent - he could have been as big as Dizzee Rascal. He was doing music with huge names in the underground scene.
'People have got into his head - it's transformed a talented young guy into a vengeful extremist.'
