Court Martial Convened For Major Lunney
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/12/12 -- Major Christopher Lunney will face a General Court Martial commencing September 13, 2012, in relation to the death of Corporal Joshua Baker and the injury of four other soldiers on a training range in Afghanistan in February 2010.
Maj. Lunney, who at the time was the Officer Commanding Stabilization Company A, a sub-unit of the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Kandahar, is charged with the following:
It is alleged that range safety procedures were violated in relation to the planning and execution of activities on the range that day.
A General Court Martial is composed of a military judge and a panel of five members.
In June of 2011, the Canadian Forces National Investigative Service charged two of Major Lunney's subordinates-Major (then Captain) Darryl Watts and Warrant Officer (retired) Paul Ravensdale-with six charges and five alternate charges each, the most serious of which was Manslaughter. In February 2012, the Director of Military Prosecutions preferred charges against each member; however, their courts martial have not yet been convened.
Notes to editor / news director: As the matter is before a service tribunal, it is inappropriate to comment further about the circumstances surrounding the case; however, the hearing is open to the media and the public.
Electronic recording devices and photographic equipment will not be permitted inside the courtroom.
