4th Royal Marine to die in four days

While most of the country gears up for the England game, there's sobering news that a fourth Royal Marine from 40 Commando has died in as many days.

The latest fatality occurred when marines on a security patrol came under fire from insurgents and the Royal Marine - as yet unnamed - was shot dead.

Another marine is due to be named later today following another shooting yesterday.

This morning it was revealed that the Royal Marine who died in an explosion on Monday was 23-year-old Paul Warren from Lancashire. On Sunday, Marine Richard Hollington died in a Birmingham hospital from injuries he sustained in an explosion on 12 June.
