lets wait and see what the report says, I cannot believe that these four soldiers committed suicide. :cry:
They were all new recruits, training at the Royal Logistics Corps' primary training base at the Princess Royal Barracks at Deepcut.

Private Sean Benton, 20, was hit by one bullet at close range and another four apparently fired from a distance, in June 1995.

Cheryl James, 18, died in November 1995 from a single bullet to the head.

Private Geoff Gray, 17, was hit by two bullets to the head. Another three believed to have been fired at the same time were not found.

And James Collinson was killed by a single shot up through the chin in March 2002. He was 17.
