The mother of a British soldier killed by a car bomb in Iraq claims that she was told the limbs of another man were returned with the body of her son when it was brought back to Britain.

Janice Murray, 45, from the Carley Hill area of Sunderland, said that she was horrified when a funeral director in Sunderland telephoned her to say that the left leg and left arm placed with 18-year-old Private Michael Tench were not his.

The roadside bomb that killed him on January 21 also injured an unnamed colleague, who lost a leg. At the inquest of Private Tench it was heard that much of the muscle tissue at the scene had been damaged beyond identification.

Mrs Murray said that the funeral director had told her first that “the left leg is not his”. She said: “The next day he said, ‘Your son’s left arm is not his’.”
