Ben Roberts-Smith’s patrol commander on a controversial SAS mission in an Afghan village has defended his evidence in court as truthful, after being accused of colluding with Roberts-Smith to cover up the murder of two prisoners.
The cross-examination of a retired SAS patrol commander, anonymised before the court as Person 5, focused on a mission raiding a compound known as Whiskey 108, in the Uruzgan village of Kakarak in southern Afghanistan, on Easter Sunday in 2009.
