An inquiry has found nothing could have been done to save the life of an Australian soldier killed in Afghanistan in April.
SAS trooper Jason Marks was killed when his patrol came under heavy gunfire from a Taliban attack, in April this year.
An inquiry into the soldier’s death has found he died as a result of wounds sustained in fighting, and nothing could have been done to prevent his death.
A second inquiry into allegations that Australian soldiers had mistreated Taliban detainees, has proved the accusations to be untrue, after medical evidence and witnesses statements did not match the claims of an Afghan soldier.
