A brain surgeon who assaulted a woman and posed for selfies with weapons including knives in a Snapchat post saying, 'Who wants to play?', has been struck off.

Dr Sayed Talibi, 38, of the town of Tamworth, Staffordshire, used to work for the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust.

But an array of horrifying charges against the British-born doctor have now been proven, at a General Medical Council (GMC) tribunal misconduct hearing.

He accumulated a range of incriminating videos, pictures and documents on his electronic devices from 2007 to 2018.

These included graphic footage of beheadings, including of the Taliban killing civilians and Pakistani soldiers, and an image of a waterboarding device.
