Robert Fleeting

Robert Fleeting (March 28, 1987 - September 4, 2011) was a 24 year old Firefighter serving with the British Royal Air Force at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire.^[1][2]

On Sunday 4 September 2011, Robert was found hanging from the door of his room in Campbell Block RAF Benson, dead. A verdict of suicide was given, and only after the funeral and cremation were details of the post mortem revealed to the family. This post mortem revealed injury to Robert's rectum, and other signs of injury such as scratches. There were many odd and suspicious circumstances including the fact that Robert's mobile phone was found in the possession of a male officer known to be homosexual. It was by then too late to test the body for drugs, as cremation had been carried out. The family and friends of the deceased have never believed it was a case of suicide and have gone on ever since campaigning for a full, honest and fair inquiry.^[1][2]

Robert was engaged to be married and at the time of his death had just given his fiancée a substantial amount of money to buy her wedding dress.^[2]

The Facebook page started by his family to campaign on his behalf is called JUSTICE FOR ROBERT and currently has 20,981 members^[1]
