A former Australian soldier charged with murder for allegedly killing an unarmed Afghan is released on bail by a magistrate, who concluded he could face danger from 'extremists' in prison
Oliver Schulz is the first former or serving Australian Defense Force member to face a war crime charge of murder under domestic law for his alleged role in the shooting of an unarmed Afghan man.
Oliver Schulz, 41, had been in custody since his arrest in rural New South Wales state last week on the war crime of murder. Magistrate Jennifer Atkinson granted the request, agreeing the risks posed to him while behind bars were too great. The footage allegedly shows Schulz shoot local man Dad Mohammad three times as he lay on his back in a wheat field with his hands and knees raised.
Schulz was suspended from duty in 2020 and later discharged from the Australia Defense Force on medical grounds.
