  • 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.

Gripping

I found this series gripping right from the start and finished it in one day. My heart breaks for what these poor families and people went through. The more people who know their story the less the people behind the atrocities get away with it.

Such a sad story. I feel for all involved.

The poor people involved. No one held accountable. No one took the time to care. Swept under the carpet. So sad.

Fantastic Investigative Journalism

This was a coherent and compassionate account of a tragic series of events. This series has given a voice and profile to the families of the recruits who died at Deepcut.

It is my hope that this body of work prompts a wide-reaching Royal Inquiry. Kia Kaha to the families whose beautiful children lost their lives.

A tragic tale

A series of deaths of young people in one UK military training facility - deaths which were not properly investigated. This podcast throws light on the abusive environment of the facility and the shortcomings of military and civilian police dealing with circumstances of the deaths. It is a sorry and salutary story, especially for any young person or parent of a young person thinking of joining the military.
