Two soldiers are facing charges in connection with the death of another soldier during an incident on a training range in Afghanistan early last year.

The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS), the investigative arm of the Canadian Forces Military Police, said the two soldiers each face six charges, including manslaughter, in the death of Cpl. Joshua Baker.

The 24-year-old died on Feb. 12, 2010 during a training exercise in Kandahar city. The incident left four other soldiers injured.

Few other details were released about the circumstances surrounding Baker's death.

According to a news release issued by the CFNIS, Maj. Darryl Watts, who was the officer in charge at the time of the incident, and Warrant Officer Paul Ravensdale, the man in charge of safety at the range, are each also charged with one count of negligent performance of a military duty, as well as four counts of unlawfully causing bodily harm.

"It is alleged that the proper safety procedures were not followed during the training exercise," the news release reads. "The case will now proceed through the military justice system."
