Soldier 'Murdered' At Shropshire Barracks

A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a soldier was found at a barracks in Shropshire.

The 32-year-old, from the 1st Battalion The Royal Irish Regiment, was discovered at Clive Barracks in Tern Hill at 9am on Saturday.

A 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The dead man's next of kin have been informed but his identity and rank have not been revealed.

Detective Inspector Steve Tonks, of West Mercia Police, said: "The investigation is in its early stages and extensive inquiries are continuing.

"A post-mortem conducted by a Home Office pathologist was held yesterday and further examination and tests are being carried out to help establish the cause of death."

Det Insp Tonks urged anyone with information to contact Shrewsbury CID.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: "We are assisting West Mercia Police with their inquiries.

"Our thoughts are with the family, but it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."

The dead soldier is from the battalion deployed to help flood-stricken communities in Worcestershire last month.

Members of the unit met the Prime Minister when he toured flood defences at Upton-upon-Severn.
