0 2 - 1 2 - 2 0 0 4 Ex-US marine gets life for murderFrom correspondents in London Advertiser 03dec04 A BRITISH court today handed down a life sentence to a former US marine after convicting him of shooting dead a policeman in cold blood as the officer begged for his life. David Bieber, who is wanted in the US for a series of alleged crimes, was found guilty of murdering traffic policeman Ian Broadhurst on December 26 last year and attempting to murder two of Broadhurst's colleagues. In jailing him for life, trial judge George Moses told Bieber he had shown "no remorse or understanding of the brutality" of his crime. The 38-year-old bouncer and bodybuilder, with a history of steroid abuse, is wanted in the United States for allegedly hiring a hitman to kill a love rival and also trying to have his ex-girlfriend murdered. During his British trial, he protested his innocence, telling the jury the killer was in fact a friend - dubbed "Mr X" by the prosecution - whom he could not name out of loyalty. However, the jury unanimously found Bieber guilty of gunning down the 34-year-old police constable during a routine check on a suspected stolen vehicle in Leeds, a city in northern England. The court heard gruesome testimony of how Bieber shot Const. Broadhurst in the chest before standing over him to "calmly" fire a bullet into his head at pointblank range. The jury heard a harrowing audio recording of the policeman's last moments picked up by a police patrol car radio, as he begged Bieber: "Do not shoot me. Please, no." Two other policemen, aged 45 and 27, were also shot by Bieber, but survived. The American fled, sparking a massive manhunt, but was arrested five days later, before he could leave the country, when staff at the hotel where he was staying tipped off police. Bieber, who used an assumed name in Britain, had been wanted by US police since 1996, featuring five times on popular US show America's Most Wanted, according to US officers.
