Episode Details

New Zealand Defence Force member denies threatening to kill Afghan interpreter, despite claims of a kill threat made during a court martial at Devonport Naval Base. The interpreter, who married a woman from a nearby province, was blocked from relocating to New Zealand with his family, leading to the alleged threat. The soldier, however, claims he had no influence and flagged the interpreters pushy behavior as a security concern. Witnesses support the soldiers account, and defence lawyers call the allegation absurd. The judge is now preparing a summary for the military panel to determine guilt or innocence.
