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.
