HERO'S BODY SENT HOME WITH THE WRONG LEG
Apr 26 2004

By Chris Hughes

THE widow of a soldier killed in Iraq revealed yesterday that his body was sent home with the wrong leg.

Ian Seymour, 28, was one of 12 to die when a US helicopter crashed in the desert on the first night of the war.

TRAGEDY: Ian Seymour, his wife Lianne and their son Beck

His wife Lianne, 27, mother of his four-year-old son Beck, has since endured a year of torment, trying to establish an explanation for the tragedy.

Lianne finally wrote to Tony Blair to protest about the "utterly incompetent" MoD - and will meet Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon on Wednesday.
