I was stunned by this story the other day. It is incredibly wrong that this poor man should be arrested for murder after two intruders brought the weapon into his home and were attacking him. He had every right to defend himself and his family.

No one deserves to die but if you enter someone's house with a weapon and you end up the one harmed then that's your own fault.

The guy who died comes from a 'family' of criminals who prey on the elderly. Nice.

He was wanted by Police for another old person break in
his Criminal mate left him in the road

This is the link to the report on the BBC News website on that story.

In times past I thought it was always the case that if someone killed anyone there had to be a trial

It's simply not true that precedent can't be "rewritten", otherwise we would still be following precedent set centuries ago .

Also, in cases like this, sentencing judges often "get around" precedent by giving pretty-much-nothing sentences even when there is a conviction.

Unless the family of the dead burglar successfully apply for judicial review of the decision not to charge the pensioner...

A family of known criminals and cowards. Two men, one armed with a screwdriver, break into an elderly couples home at night and regularly target the elderly. Scumbags is too polite a word for the lot of them. Who will listen or care.

The police were never going to charge this man. You are allowed to use a lot more force in your own home than you are, say, in the street. For instance, you don't have to wait for the burglar to attack you if you feel your life or the lives of your family are at risk. And the burglar had a screwdriver, so was armed.

Lots of people mentioned Tony Martin, which was an entirely different case. Not only was his gun illegal, he had it ready. I have a shotgun (because I shoot clays, I don't do post offices or anything...) and there are very strict rules about how your gun is stored. By the time I'd got the key, which is kept apart from the gun cabinet, opened the cabinet, got the gun out, loaded it, because she cartridges aren't kept with the gun... the burglars would be out the door with my telly.

This is a bit tasteless, I know they wanted to make a shrine to their dead family member, but outside the home where he was committing a crime, really doesn't sit well, no wonder it was torn down

he probably had where his family were concerned, that is no consolation to all the elderly couple he robbed who can't return to their home
