A British soldier found guilty of murdering a wounded Taliban fighter in Afghanistan was denied bail on Wednesday as he appeals against his landmark conviction.

On September 15, 2011, the Royal Marine shot a Taliban fighter who had been seriously injured by fire from an Apache helicopter in Helmand province.
