Barrister shot by police told cabbie: ‘I am going to die’

A BARRISTER told a taxi driver “I’m going to die”, hours before he was killed by police after blasting a shotgun through a window of his home.

Divorce specialist Mark Saunders, 32, sparked a five-hour armed siege as dozens of officers surrounded his £2.2 million home in Markham Square, Chelsea, on May 6, 2008.

He died from injuries to his head and chest after being hit by a volley of at least five shots fired by marksmen positioned in the street and surrounding buildings.
