HORRIFIED Labour MPs have backed a family’s call for answers into the death of a soldier whose body was left undiscovered at his base for three weeks.

MPs Navendu Mishra (Stockport) and Paula Barker (Liverpool Wavertree) have joined the calls for justice for Bernard Mongan, a 33-year-old lance corporal and Iraq war veteran.

Mongan was found dead at Catterick army garrison, North Yorkshire, on January 23. However, his family and local police say that he died several weeks earlier.
