Attacked In His Own Home

[naomi24]

Attacked in his own home as he and his family slept, Henry De Los Rios Polania, the father who shielded his wife and four-year-old daughter from the sword-wielding killer of 14 year old Daniel Anjorin is fighting for his life.

 

Marcus Arduini Monzo, 36, appeared in court yesterday accused of being behind a 22-minute rampage that left schoolboy Daniel Anjorin dead and four others seriously wounded – including a policewoman who nearly lost a hand.

 

Monzo describes himself online as a 'mystic and a musician, forced entry into the De Los Rios home  shouting 'If you do not believe in God he will cause you harm.'

Another one screwed up by religion?  The attacker has to be mentally ill.

lets hope the guy pulls through.

It is so dreadful. Obviously mental illness is involved. I do hope he recovers.

The evil perpetrated by religion far outstrips any good. It poisons vulnerable minds, with catastrophic results as we see here.  God help us (pun intended) now they've got nuclear weapons.

I read today that on the same day as his rampage the assailant's Landscape Gardening business went to the wall.May be that was what flipped him. Another hero of the day fighting for his life. I knew he had an injury to the neck but not life threatening. I really hope he pulls through. Poor man.

I think there may be another Tony Martin case in the offing after a recent shooting incident in England.

In the London incident, if the householder had attacked the swordsman could he have faced charges?

[Peter Pedant]

sane enough to be arrested and questioned. I wd a thought the doctors in the hospital cd tell if he were lu-lu.

He certainly sounds lu-lu -  religious mania. Very much more common two centuries ago.

HI Sandy - I thought it was about the farmer and (dead) thieves, too. The Prefect is Watching you.

No - the defence wounds have to be on the front. ( Basil or Adam was shot in the back of the head in Gaza and it is Very Difficult to say he was throwing anything - even with a back-flip). Tony Martin's case - he was shot in the bottom. He cd have been fleeing after he saw the shot-gun

My father 1944 defended a Tommy in German POW camp who insisted on ( English ) court martial. He attacked a German guard and was bayoneted in the buttocks. " No one attacks buttocks first" I am not sure if he won the case.

The farmer - it seems he shot the intruder off site ( or else the thief crawled there, but then there wd be a blood trail) -and so a defence of self-defence will be .... interesting.

The farmer - arrested on suspicion of murder. Well there was a blasted dead man, and the farmer had a shotgun. Suspicion is 'anything not fanciful'

//In the London incident, if the householder had attacked the swordsman could he have faced charges?//

No. He would have every right to protect himself and his family in his own home against an aggravated burglary.

If the householder was in legal possession of a registered firearm and shot the intruder in the back when he was fleeing the scene and no longer a threat then charges would probably follow against the householder.

The only reason Farmer Martin was banged up was because he possessed a shotgun licence but the shotgun he owned was a 8 shot pump action and should of been modified to load 3 cartridges or he should have recistered the 8 shot pump as a Sec I Firearm. He didn't.

hi retro

had cases make bad law: the Martin victim had the wounds in the wrong place, innit? - showed he was running away.

A neighbour had a snazz-wazz motor bike and I heard a conversation at 0200, .... around the Martin time. 

and I said, it has to be on site and wounds on the front, and the defence should succeed.

" So I have to drag him back into the garden?" he said  (yes)

I really hope Mr De Los Rios, an incredibly brave man, pulls through & that all those that received injuries are able to make full recoveries.

 There are some strange people in the world, and Monzo is one of those with no thought or care for human life. He must be locked up.
