The mother of a second Japanese hostage apparently beheaded by the Islamic State group said on Sunday that she "can't find the words" to describe the death of her son, journalist Kenji Goto.
"It's deplorable, but Kenji is gone," Goto's sobbing mother, Junko Ishido, told reporters at her home in a Tokyo suburb.
"I can't find the words to describe how I feel about my son's very sad death."
