A former SAS soldier accused of gunning down an unarmed, disabled man in a wheat field in Afghanistan has been granted bail under strict conditions.
A former SAS soldier accused of gunning down an unarmed, disabled man in a wheat field in Afghanistan has been granted bail, after a magistrate found his safety and his ability to mount a legal defence would be affected if he remained in custody.
On Tuesday, Downing Centre Local Court heard Schulz had been on patrol with Australian forces and was dropped into the location by helicopter when his squad saw a man in a wheat field. “In my view it’s a fairly strong case, given what I’ve seen, but it’s early days,” Atkinson said. “I find exceptional circumstances exist to justify bail.”ABC News
