Former Australian soldier, known as Australia's most decorated soldier, has been charged with war crimes for allegedly murdering five unarmed Afghans while serving in Afghanistan from 2009-2012. The 47-year-old man, named as Oliver Schulz, is accused of shooting Afghan man Dad Mohammad three times in the head in May 2012. The charges follow a military report in 2020 that found evidence that elite Australian SAS and commando regiment troops unlawfully killed 39 Afghan prisoners, farmers, and other noncombatants. Despite previous court findings that Roberts-Smith unlawfully killed four Afghans, the new charges will need to be proved in a criminal court to a higher standard of beyond reasonable doubt.
