Army probe into soldier suicide bullying claims © Reuters/Shamil Zhumatov The Army is investigating claims that a soldier who committed suicide was bullied after accusing two colleagues of rape. Corporal Anne-Marie Ellement, 30, originally from Bournemouth, Dorset, was found hanged at Bulford Barracks in Wiltshire on October 9 last year. She had claimed that she had been raped by two colleagues from the Royal Military Police while she was drunk. However her sister, Sharon Hardy, claimed she was called a liar after complaining about the incident. In an email to a friend, she wrote: "Hardly anyone is talking to me. Like id (sic) make up something that is this bad destroying my career, and losing all my friends. Mrs Hardy told the Times: "Anne-Marie was made out to be a liar by other soldiers serving in the camp." Her mother added: "They brushed it under the carpet. Anne-Marie told me how upset she was. She was a strong girl but they broke her in the end. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "All allegations, no matter what their nature, are investigated. The Army has a zero tolerance policy to bullying and harassment of its personnel and takes these matters extremely seriously.
