Police said the body of Daniel Burke, who was reported missing a month ago by his family, has been found
“This is an upsetting time for Daniel’s family, we have family liaison officers in contact with the family and offering support,” Det Supt Lewis Hughes of Greater Manchester Police said.
“My team and I are working with the Ukrainian authorities to make formal identification with a view to repatriating Daniel following that process.In 2019 Mr Burke travelled to Syria to alongside the Kurdish, Western-backed YPG. He then set up Dark Angels, a foreign volunteer group based in Southern Ukraine.Mr Burke described the horror of fighting in the battlefield in Ukraine. “It wasn’t like we were fighting Isis, al Qaeda or the Taliban. You are fighting a conventional army. It’s artillery, it scares the shit out of you. Any arsehole that says to me they are not scared of artillery, they don’t belong on a battlefield. It is terrifying,” he said.
Another Dark Angels volunteer, Sam Newey, 22, died in a Russian Motar strike in Eastern Ukraine on 31 August.
