The elderly former neighbour of Australian terrorist Khaled Sharrouf and his Muslim convert wife Tara Nettleton has revealed what it was like to live next door to the couple before they fled to Syria with their five children. Sharrouf, who is wanted by Australian Federal Police after he began fighting with terrorist organisation Islamic State, posted a photo of his seven-year-old son on Twitter holding up a decapitated head in the Middle East this week with the caption 'that's my boy'. The image shocked the world and led to the boy’s Australian grandfather, Peter Nettleton, demanding the couple’s children be brought home to Australia.
