Cheryl James Deepcut death: Soldier's body is exhumed

The body of a teenage soldier found dead at barracks in Surrey has been exhumed, ahead of a new inquest into her death.

Pte Cheryl James, 18, from Llangollen, Denbighshire, was found with a bullet wound to her head at Deepcut Barracks in 1995.

A pre-inquest review at Woking Coroner's Court was told her body was exhumed last month and metallic fragments had been recovered.

A new inquest into her death is expected to begin in February.
