British marines court-martialed for alleged murder cover-up: ‘Obviously this don’t go anywhere fellas, I’ve just broken the Geneva Convention’

The helmet camera of a British Royal Marine captured the execution of an injured enemy combatant in Afghanistan, according to reports from the court martial of three soldiers being called Marine A, B and C.

Footage of the video was shown during the trial. It allegedly shows the three servicemen approaching the combatant, who was twitching and gasping for breath, then pretending to provide first aid while they called into base saying he’d already died.

The alleged murder took place after an Apache helicopter strafed insurgents attempting to attack a command post. A patrol led by Marine A found the combatant, and on the video says, “Get him close in, so the (observation balloon) can’t see what we’re doing to him. He’s over there, he can f***ing see us.”

Marine A then asks, “Anyone want to do first aid on this idiot?”
