Top Australian soldier Ben Roberts-Smith loses defamation case – BBC News


Australia’s most-decorated living soldier Ben Roberts-Smith has lost a historic defamation case against three newspapers that accused him of war crimes in Afghanistan.

The outlets were sued over articles alleging he killed unarmed prisoners.

A judge has now said four of the six murder allegations – all denied by the soldier – were substantially true.

The civil trial was the first time a court has assessed accusations of war crimes by Australian forces.
