Yes I forgot about the CCTV but it depends where they sat on him ie was it in camera shot plus was the CCTV actually working or recording or was the quality not good enough to positively identify the culprits.
Also in all honesty can you really see any prosecution against good citizens that thwarted an armed robbery and tried to restrain him using reasonable force but accidentally smothered him perhaps causing a heart attack or possibly he was ashmatic or suffered from a bronchial condition.
All in all I cannot see any conviction for murder or manslaughter arising from this...!!!
