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.

Great podcast

I'm pleased that this was made. I had read what had happened at Deepcut as reported in Private Eye over the years, so was interested in what this audible original would report.

Shocking cover up

A very interesting podcast. Having been a Soldier and a civilian Police Detective I looked at the podcast in a different way to most listening.

I found that the former Ch Insp made a lot of assumptions based on hearsay, tened to believe those that weren't present and failed to check the facts at the time of his investigation.

The reporter feed on the rumours and hearsay to fuel the podcast.

The RMP soldier was very good in the way that he stated facts and did not make comments on hearsay from those not present.

What has the military learnt from the enquiries, that is the question. If the guard commander (a Cpl) was asked what would you if a soldier was found dead, what would they say? what would the duty Sgt say? what would the duty officer say?

Clearly mistakes were made and there will always be a shadow over the deaths at Deepcut, maybe an inquest should be held, my veiw is that it will only highlight the mistakes that have already been made.

Great account with first hand interviews and real phone calls etc. My heart goes out to all the families continuing the fight for justice for their loved ones.

Hard hitting, shocking but not surprising
