CPS has spent 18 months considering charges over Deepcut barracks deaths

Police last year recommended charging ex-officer with misconduct over deaths of soldiers at barracks

Prosecutors have spent 18 months considering whether to charge a former army instructor at Deepcut barracks where five recruits died over two decades ago.

A file recommending that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) charge a former member of the Royal Logistics Corps for misconduct in a public office was sent last year but prosecutors said they were still unable to provide guidance on when a decision would be made.
