Marine Afghanistan 'Murder' Audio Released
A recording of the moments a Royal Marine allegedly executed a captured Afghan national has been released by a military court.
Three men - known only as marines A, B and C - are appearing before the court martial charged with killing the unknown person on or around September 15, 2011, while on patrol in Afghanistan. They deny the charges.
A gunshot is heard on the recording shortly before Marine A is heard saying: "Shuffle off this mortal coil, you ****."
He is then heard saying: "Obviously this doesn't go anywhere fellas ... I've just broken the Geneva Convention."
...
The court martial heard the insurgent had been shot at by an Apache attack helicopter with 139 30mm anti-tank rounds but was still alive - albeit seriously injured - when discovered by the patrol.
The footage, which was shown to the court, shows Marine A walking forward, bending down, and shooting the man at close range in the centre of his chest with a 9mm pistol.
