THE police marksman who shot Chris Kaba has told a jury he thought one of his colleagues was about to die when he opened fire.

Martyn Blake said he was "filled with dread" as the Audi Mr Kaba was driving moved backwards and forwards, with police officers surrounding the car.

He told a jury that immediately after the fatal shooting, his first thought was relief that his colleagues were OK.

But he told the Old Bailey yesterday: "Then I just felt awful." Blake, 40, denies murder after he shot Mr Kaba, 24, through the windscreen of the Audi in Streatham, South East London, on September 5, 2022.
