undercooked Russian military cadet commits suicide

A 16-year-old cadet at an elite Russian military school has committed suicide, a local prosecutor said, which is the second suicide at the school in a year.

Rights groups have frequently raised concern about a series of assaults, suicides and unexplained deaths in Russian military units, which they say are caused by a culture of violence and negligence by officers.

The cadet, whose name has not been disclosed, killed himself last Friday at the Suvorov Military Cadet School in Ussuriisk, a town in Russia's Far East, said Sergei Pozdnyakov, a local military prosecutor.

He said forensic experts would try to establish the circumstances surrounding the suicide. A police source said the cadet had encountered problems with his studies at the school.
