Edward Maher's family: 'He paid for the training with his life'

The family of one of the soldiers who died after taking part in a gruelling SAS test march on the Brecon Beacons have said that their son paid for his training 'with his life.'

Lance Corporal Edward Maher, from Winchester, along with Lance Corporal Craig Roberts and Corporal James Dunsby from Trowbridge were taking part in the selection test on one of the hottest days of the year in 2013.

The coroner in the inquest has ruled that neglect contributed to the deaths of the three reservists and that they died trying to be ‘best of the best.'
