An audio recording has been released of a conversation between three Royal Marines as they allegedly murder a captured Afghan man in 2011.
The trio are being tried by a court martial and all deny the charge.
The recording was taken by one of the accused's helmet cameras worn at the time of the alleged incident.
In the footage, a bang, understood to be a gunshot can be heard, followed by one of the marines saying: "Shuffle off this mortal coil, you c***."
Later in the recording, a marine is heard to say: "Obviously this doesn't go anywhere fellas...I just broke the Geneva Convention."
A warning that the footage includes a gunshot alleged to have killed the Afghan man and strong language throughout:
