I'll start, give the guy a medal, one less low life........

[BAKERS DOZEN]

My first thought was what a pity he didn't get both of them.

[ToraToraTora]

yes indeed BD, no doubt the F0C5 will be along soon to defend the thieving scum.

[Baldric]

Oh Dear Me, what a shame, that'll learn him!

This is dreadful. The one invaded should have all the rights. He didn't ask the burglar to come in. Self-defence, no argument about it.

[ToraToraTora]

the burglar was armed and cam off worse, looks like self defence to me so why has he been arrested for murder?

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Hope the pensioner is getting all the support he deserves. It must have been terrifying for him.

[ummmm]

Spath - he was attacked and the burglar came off worse.

TTT - you know they have to arrest him.

[Baldric]

The Right to defend yourself against an Intruder is Part of British Law.

It's just been said on Sky it was a single stab wound to the upper body not repeated wounds as you suggest.

//To stab someone, especially repeatedly to death makes you a sociopath. //????

Who mentioned "stabbed repeatedly"??

//The homeowner was then forced into the kitchen by one of the suspects armed with a screwdriver while the other went upstairs.
During a subsequent struggle, one of the males found inside the property sustained a stab injury to his upper body, police said.//

Snap Baldric.

They may have had to arrest him but I thought there had to be poreditation for it to be a murder charge.

//especially repeatedly//
Spathi, where do get this from.It could have been one blow.

[jackthehat]

He's been arrested for murder because a man was stabbed with a screwdriver and died.

The arrest ensures the pensioners rights will be observed.

I have no doubt that this will, quite rightly, come to nothing but until investigations have been completed the law must be observed.

*Please don't let any of the above prevent you from banging on with your usual nonsense on these matters*

No doubt you would want the accomplice to get trauma therapy. Get real. They broke into someone's property and wanted to relieve him of goods he had probably worked hard for and you are feeling sorry for them. No sympathy whatsover and dogooders like you make me so mad. He got what he deserved.
