A missing photograph of a prisoner, which should have been marked “GB2”, has dominated evidence in Ben Roberts-Smith’s defamation trial on Thursday, with allegations before the federal court that “GB2” was a terrified captive teenage boy shot in the head by Roberts-Smith.
A retired SAS comrade, anonymised before the court as Person 11, has been called by Roberts-Smith to give evidence in his defamation action against three Australian newspapers, whom he says defamed him in a series of reports that alleged he committed war crimes, including murder.
