UK soldier 'enjoyed' Iraqis' pain
Advertisements [?]
20 September 2006

A British soldier "enjoyed" hearing Iraqis call out in pain as they were kicked and punched while in a detention centre, a court martial has heard.

British Cpl Donald Payne referred to the noises made as "the choir", which he "conducted" in front of visitors to the centre, said a prosecuting QC.

The 35-year-old admits inhumane treatment but denies manslaughter.

Six other soldiers have pleaded not guilty to charges relating to the death of Baha Mousa, 26, in Basra in 2003.
