Killed Female Soldier 'Inadequately Trained'

Corporal Sarah Bryant was one of four troops who died when their Snatch Landrover hit a bomb during an operation near Lashkar Gah in June 2008.

A verdict of unlawful killing was also entered for Corporal Sean Reeve, Lance Corporal Richard Larkin and Private Paul Stout. 

At the inquest into their deaths, Wiltshire and Swindon Coroner David Masters said there was an "inadequacy" in training given to the soldiers.

He added: "I intend to submit a report to the Ministry of Defence which will take up a number of these issues which this inquest has quite properly canvassed."
