Soldier beaten by sergeant and bombardier in Hawaii

A military court had heard that a soldier was beaten so badly by a sergeant and a bombardier when they were in Hawaii on an international exercise that the soldier twice lost consciousness. It's alleged the attack happened after the soldier called the sergeant a dick when he protested about the way he and his mates were treated during the exercise, in late 2023. The sergeant and the bombardier are before a Court Martial at Linton Military Camp, near Palmerston North, which began today. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham spoke to Lisa Owen.
