At least 13 postmasters may have taken their own lives after being accused of wrongdoing

At least 13 postmasters may have taken their own lives after being accused of wrongdoing based on evidence from the Horizon IT system that the Post Office and developers Fujitsu knew could be false, a public inquiry has found. A further 59 people told the inquiry they considered ending their lives, ten of whom tried on at least one occasion, while other postmasters and family members recount suffering from alcoholism and mental health disorders including anorexia and depression, family breakup, divorce, bankruptcy and personal abuse.
