Police probe as female soldier, 19, dies after ‘sexual harassment by her boss’

Police are investigating reports of sexual offences after an inquiry found that a teenage soldier died following two months of harassment by one of her bosses.

Royal Artillery Gunner Jaysley Beck was found dead at Larkhill Camp in Wiltshire in December 2021.

The Army service inquiry report published on Wednesday describes “an intense period of unwelcome behaviour” and said it is “almost certain this was a causal factor” in the 19-year-old’s death.

Wiltshire Police said officers are “aware of reports of sexual offences” and confirmed they are “already actively investigating”.
