MARGARET Hassan’s mutilated body is thought to have been found in Iraq, it was reported last night.
A corpse with the hands and legs cut off was dumped on a street in Fallujah.
Officials were said to be 85 per cent sure the body is that of the British charity worker.
The dead woman’s height and age match Margaret’s.
And she had been shot in the head.
Margaret, 59, was shot in the head on Tuesday by terrorists who sent a video of the killing to Al Jazeera TV.
Her distraught husband Tahseen has been told of the find.
The Foreign Office would not comment.
The Muslim Council of Great Britain has called her execution “inhumane” and demanded the killers be brought to justice.
More than 1,000 attended a service yesterday in Margaret’s home town, Kenmare, Co Kerry.
Her family said in a statement their “hearts are broken”. Tony Blair led tributes to the care worker in the Commons.
The mum of Ken Bigley, the first British hostage executed in Iraq, condemned her killers.
Lil Bigley, 86, of Liverpool, said: “I feel desperately sorry for Margaret and her family.”
