A court martial has heard a soldier threatened to put a “barrel” in the mouth of another soldier and kill him after a “drunken” early-morning incident.

A court martial has heard a soldier threatened to put a “barrel” in the mouth of a less senior soldier and kill him after a “drunken” early-morning incident.

A witness told the court they went to the defendant’s room after hearing an “unmerciful bang” and opened the door to find another soldier standing over him with his fists raised, asking him repeatedly “why did you do this to me?”.
