Another Australian soldier has testified he watched Ben Roberts-Smith machine-gun an unarmed disabled man to death in Afghanistan, telling the federal court he turned to a comrade immediately after the shooting and said: “Did we just witness an execution?”
In further evidence before the federal court about an SAS mission on a compound called Whiskey 108, the soldier, anonymised before the court as Person 24, said he saw Roberts-Smith throw the man to the ground and “immediately put a machine gun burst into his back”.
