A desperate manhunt has been launched to find a terrorist who entered a packed nightclub on New year's Eve allegedly dressed as Santa Claus and slaughtered dozens of young partygoers.

At least 39 people have been killed after the twisted killer stormed the Reina nightclub in Istanbul armed with an AK-47 and began blasting people at will.

As many as 16 of those dead are thought to be foreign nationals but there is no news yet if any victims are British.

The horror began after New Year's Eve early this morning when the gunman arrived outside the club in a yellow taxi.

He then shot dead a policeman stationed outside before storming in and opening fire with an assault rifle.

Chilling CCTV showed the killer dressed in the festive outfit brandishing the firearm inside the club.

Desperate partygoers jumped into a nearby waterway and hide in frantic efforts to survive as the massacre unfolded.

After killing dozens of people, the gunman fled the scene and remains on-the-run.
