Our thoughts are with the families of Private Nabin Thapa and Private Adam Brocklehurst

In a worrying development, police are to investigate the death of an Army soldier during a 'brutal' training exercise.

Witnesses said Private Nabin Thapa, 35, of the Royal Logistics Corps, collapsed and died following a series of exhausting marches and battle drills.

An investigation into what happened at the Driffield Training Area in East Yorkshire on September 21 will be undertaken Humberside Police.

Private Thapa's death came the day after another British soldier died on a separate exercise.

Private Adam Brocklehurst, from the Infantry Training Centre Support Battalion, died at Sennybridge in Wales on September 20.

Our thoughts are with the families of both men.
