A coroner has recorded a verdict of unlawful killing on an Army dog handler who was shot in Afghanistan. Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, who was 26 and from the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, 1st Military Working Dog Regiment, was shot by insurgents on 1st March while on patrol with his dog Theo, who died of a seizure shortly afterwards. The inquest in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, heard LCpl Tasker was attached to 2 Company, 1st Battalion Irish Guards as part of a mission to secure an area soldiers referred to as the "sharks fin" near the village of Shingazi. Speaking after the inquest LCpl Tasker's mother, Jane Duffy, said the fact her son and Theo had "worked together and died together" brought her some comfort from knowing they were "somewhere together now".
