Contrasting Narratives of Tragedy

A five-minute drive from the cliff where Ben Roberts-Smith allegedly murdered Afghan farmer Ali Jan, there is a small mud-brick room used for storing almonds.

It was in this room, locals say, that a separate group of Australian soldiers killed two Afghan men in a shocking and brutal way.
