An alleged armed robber shot dead by a police marksman was 'lawfully killed', an inquest in Folkestone found yesterday (25 January).

Robert Haines, 41, was killed by an undercover officer during a raid at a branch of Nationwide in New Romney on October 31, 2006.

A jury at Folkestone Magistrates' Court heard Mr Haines died of multiple gunshot wounds after firing a sawn-off shotgun as armed officers tried to arrest him.

Mr Haines, who was believed to be running to a getaway car, was confronted by four armed officers from Scotland Yard's Flying Squad and an officer fired three shots.
