The mother of Gunner Jaysley Beck has called for the Army and the Prime Minister to make changes to the way complaints by soldiers are investigated, as she made an emotional appeal for victims to seek help.

After the Salisbury inquest into her daughter’s death, Leighann McCready, of Oxen Park, Cumbria, said she believed the Army “covered up” her daughter’s complaints and the way she was treated.
