British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond offered his country's response to the Goto killing: “____________________________________________, and I’d like to send my expression of sympathies to the family, the friends of Kenji Goto and indeed to the people of Japan.” Analysts believe the executioner had the same British accent as the killer featured in earlier Islamic State execution videos. 英国外交大臣菲利普`哈蒙德就后藤健二被处决表示道: "______________________________________________.同时,我也向后藤健二的亲友和日本民众表示深深的同情." 有分析认为,此次视频中的处决者,与之前伊斯兰国恐怖组织处决视频中的刽子手拥有相同的英国口音.
