Army’s mishandling of assault factor in teen’s death – coroner
The mother of a 19-year-old soldier who took her own life has accused the Army of a “cover-up” after a coroner ruled a string of failings contributed to her death.
Royal Artillery Gunner Jaysley Beck was found hanged at Larkhill Camp in Wiltshire in December 2021.
Today, a coroner said that the Army failed to take action after Gunner Beck was harassed by her line manager with thousands of text messages.
