Inquest into the death of Royal Marine recruit Connor Clark hears punishments were 'not personal'.
A Royal Marines recruit who was later found dead on a railway line received more so-called "thrashings" during his training than anyone else, an inquest has heard.
The 18-year-old, from Norwich, had completed the third of his four-week recruit orientation phase course before he died. "I would say the trainers really put pressure on Connor's weaknesses and would shout at him more. He had more thrashings than anyone," he said. He told medical staff he had initially cut himself when he fell against a radiator but then had used a knife to reopen the wound to avoid duties.
