Ben Roberts-Smith ordered the mock execution of an unarmed civilian during an SAS training drill in 2012, a former comrade has told the federal court in Sydney.
The court also heard on Tuesday that Roberts-Smith discussed “blooding” soldiers on their first tour of Afghanistan – having them kill a person on operation – and said to a comrade that another fellow soldier should not register a bullying complaint against him: “You tell that cunt he better not saying anything, or I’ll get him charged for war crimes.”
