I heard death soldier shots

-

A FORMER corporal told an inquest how he heard three shots before a soldier at Deepcut Army barracks was found dead.

Martin Holder said he had earlier shouted at Private Sean Benton, 20, to put his weapon down.

He added: “As he fired his body moved, before falling.” Sean died at the Surrey barracks in 1995, the first of four soldier deaths in seven years.

The hearing at Woking continues.
