A Territorial Army soldier is under investigation for murder after he shot dead a suspected Taliban bomber.
Fusilier Duane Knott, 26, said he killed the Afghan believing that he was laying explosives intended to kill British troops on patrol.
However, senior officers believe the man may have been an innocent farmer and Fusilier Knott could now become the first British soldier serving in Afghanistan to be charged with murder.

The Ministry of Defence has just completed an 18-month-long inquiry into the incident, which took place in the Nahr-e-Seraj area of central Helmand in the summer of 2010, and has passed its findings to the independent Service Prosecution Authority.
In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Fusilier Knott, who could now face a court martial, has defended
his actions saying:
‘I know for a fact what I did was right. I don’t have regrets. I’d expect anybody to do the same – especially a soldier,’ he said.
Weeks before the shooting one of Fusilier Knott’s closest friends, Pte Jonathan Monk had been killed while on patrol by an improvised explosive device (IED) blast.
On the day of the shooting, the soldier, who is still a member of the 3rd Battalion The Royal Welsh, but now works as a bus driver in his home-town of Caerphilly, south Wales, was undertaking sentry duty inside a fortified patrol base.
Fusilier Knott said he had been ordered to monitor an Afghan digging in a field 400 metres away when he saw him disappear into a bush and return with an object he believed to be an IED.
The soldier claims he tried to radio his operations room for permission to open fire but was unable to get through, so took the decision himself, shooting the man six times.
According to The Sunday Telegraph, investigators later found no evidence that the civilian was attempting to plant a bomb.
A Ministry of Defence confirmed the incident has been subject to an 18-month-long investigation by an internal Board of Inquiry.
A spokesman said: ‘The matter has been referred to the independent Service Prosecution Authority which is currently considering the case. As such, it would be inappropriate to comment further.’
