BBCThe only soldier convicted in connection with the death of Iraqi Baha Mousa claims that he witnessed an Army officer abuse other prisoners.
Former corporal Donald Payne told a public inquiry into Mr Mousa's death that he saw a group led by Lt Craig Rodgers "kick and/or punch" prisoners.
Mr Mousa, 26, died in Basra in 2003 while in the custody of the former Queen's Lancashire Regiment (QLR).
