Jury sees footage of millionaire murder accused leading police on 135mph chase

Video footage of Thomas Schreiber being pursued by armed police at speeds of up to 135mph into central London has been shown to the jury in his murder trial.

The pursuit along the A303 and M3 into central London happened after the defendant had fatally stabbed Sir Richard Sutton and attacked his mother, Anne Schreiber, at their home near Gillingham, Dorset.

As well as footage from a police helicopter, body-worn video from a pursuing vehicle was shown with an officer shouting at the defendant: “Armed police.”

The footage shows the Range Rover being driven by Schreiber colliding with a police car in what has been described as a “hard stop” in Chiswick, west London.

Body-worn video also shows Schreiber, who had been tasered, being dragged from the Range Rover before officers remove his clothes to locate where he had stabbed himself in the chest.

Schreiber is heard repeatedly calling out: “Please kill me now, please just shoot me,” and adding: “I am asking you to put a bullet in my f****** head.”

An officer replies: “Mate, that’s not going to happen, stop asking.”

Schreiber denies murder and attempted murder and the trial continues.
