A BRITISH ex-serviceman has been shot dead in California just weeks before he was due to return to the UK.
Dad-of-two Satyan Dave, 49, was found dead in the Eastlake District of Oakland on Thursday morning.
The ex-paratrooper, from Hendon, North London, had been stationed on the West Coast whilst working for Cypriot private security firm M.S. Security & Personnel Ltd.
But Satyan’s friend and next-of-kin Christopher Morris got a call from M.S. Security on Thursday to say he had been killed.
He was told his pal of 20 years had been mysteriously shot in the head shortly after 5am.
