A woman soldier who was struggling to cope with working 80-hour weeks hanged herself, an inquest heard yesterday.
Corporal Anne-Marie Ellement told friends and family that she was called in for duty on her weekends off and even when she was signed off on sick leave.
The 30-year-old said she was belittled and slated by senior colleagues for her work, with one even writing criticisms on Facebook.
Royal Military Policewoman Ellement was found hanged on a fire escape on October 9 last year at Bulford Barracks near Salisbury, Wiltshire, shortly after returning from sick leave.
Her death came after she learned on Facebook that an ex-boyfriend had started seeing someone else. Police found the words ‘I’m sorry’ scrawled in lipstick on her bedroom mirror.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
