A soldier witness called by Ben Roberts-Smith in his defamation trial has told the court he is separately being investigated for an alleged war crime committed at Darwan, during the same raid on which Roberts-Smith is accused of kicking a handcuffed prisoner off a cliff.
Person 35 spent his third day in the witness box on Friday, and was cross-examined over the death of a man called Haji Nazar Gul, during an Australian SAS raid on the village of Darwan, in Afghanistan’s Uruzgan province, on 11 September 2012.
