  • Summary

  • Please note: This audio features sexual content, adult language, and references to suicide and violence that may be upsetting to some listeners. Discretion is advised.

    Between 1995 and 2002 four young trainee soldiers were found dead at a military training camp outside London, Deepcut. The soldiers all died from gunshot wounds, all on guard duty. In each case the army quickly concluded the deaths were suicide.

    But for the families, the official version of events just didn’t add up and so they all started to ask questions. Investigative journalist Jane MacSorley and retired detective chief inspector Colin Sutton join forces to investigate the deaths and try to find answers about what really happened at Deepcut. 

    After a year-long investigation the pair have uncovered shocking details about what life was like at the training camp. Interviews with former soldiers have painted a harrowing picture of emotional, physical and sexual abuse in an environment of apparent lawlessness. 

    Featuring exclusive interviews with family members, former army trainees, senior officers and forensic experts this investigation has uncovered new allegations of criminal activity and a shocking secret which has never been reported until now. 

    If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, please call the Samaritans on 116 123. This number is free to call, any time, from any phone.

Shockingly

cold and uncaring incompetence on the part of the MOD, the police, the government, coroners et al. A disturbing but probably necessary listen for anyone interested in the workings of this country's organisation's that are meant to serve and protect.

The story of a national disgrace

An all too familiar tale of British cover-up and denial in the service of maintaining corrupt power structures. And the innocent victims and their poor families be damned.
A painful listen but worthy nonetheless

Well researched

This is a very interesting podcast, well researched, compelling and really distressing. It makes one fearful of any institution that allows bullies free rein!

It is such a sad thing to understand the level of fear that these young people experienced.
