Remarkable video caught on the helmet electronic camera of an Australian soldier in Afghanistan might lead to charges of war crimes.
Bottom line:
- The video reveals the SAS soldier shooting the male dead at close quarters
- The video is at odds with what soldiers told investigators, who ruled the killing was self-defence
- Another SAS soldier who served in the same squadron has actually described it as a “straight-up execution”
His death took location within three minutes of the soldiers arriving in the village.
A former member of the same SAS squadron, who was on the 2012 deployment to Afghanistan and has actually been revealed the vision, described the killing to 4 Corners as a “straight-up execution”.
