Ben Roberts-Smith denies killing prisoners, reveals regrets in bombshell interview

Key points

• Ben Roberts-Smith says he lost his defamation case against Nine newspapers because he did not understand the civil court system, not because he is guilty. In a two-and-a-half-hour interview with 2GB broadcaster Ben Fordham, he denied murdering Afghan prisoners.
• A Federal Court judge found he was responsible for four unlawful killings on the balance of probabilities. He faces five counts of the war crime of murder, which he vehemently denies.
• He has not yet stood trial.
