"Cpl Channing Day, 25, of 3 Medical Regiment, and Cpl David O'Connor, 27, of 40 Commando, were shot dead on October 24 last year in a suspected "green-on-blue" attack in Helmand's Nahr-e Saraj district.
They had been on their way to train local police in first aid and spotting roadside bombs when their patrol came under fire near the village of Char Kutsa.
Cpl Philip Benford, who was in command of the group of eight soldiers which contained Cpl Day and Cpl O'Connor, told the inquest at Oxford County Hall how he saw two men fire at the patrol with Kalashnikov weapons."
