You may have seen in the news on Tuesday that a barrister was involved in a 5 hour police shoot out in London, before police marksmen shot him 5 times, killing him. Mark Saunders was the Billy the Kid wannabe, and as luck would have it he was a divorce lawyer specialist.

Mark lived in a £2.2 million London flat, paid for no doubt with the money from bickering couples, and it was in his luxury home that he decided to take on the entire London police force.

Lynda Morris, the coroner’s officer, said:

The multiple gunshot wounds present are associated with severe internal damage to the brain, the heart, the liver and the main vein of the lower body.

When the armed police approached Mark began firing at his neighbours in Markham Square, one of the wealthy areas of London’s Chelsea district.

Mark was shot in the head, the heart and the liver in an exemplary display of police marksmanship.

Lynda Morris went on to say:

The multiple gunshot wounds present are associated with severe internal damage to the brain, the heart, the liver and the main vein of the lower body.

The external and internal gunshot-related damage is consistent with a minimum of five shots having hit the deceased.

The nature of the wound and the projectile material recovered from the body suggests that more than one type of bullet has hit the deceased and further information will become available on this point.

It’s not know yet why this divorce lawyer decided to shoot at his neighbours and the police. Maybe guilt caught up with him?
