3:06Now PlayingAustralia's most-decorated living soldier Ben Roberts-Smith has lost a historic defamation case against three newspapers that accused him of war crimes in Afghanistan.
The outlets were sued over articles alleging he killed unarmed prisoners.
A judge has now said four of the six murder allegations - all denied by the soldier - were substantially true.
The civil trial was the first time a court has assessed accusations of war crimes by Australian forces.
