78 yearold man charged with murder of burglar


A 78-year-old resident found two males, one armed with a screwdriver inside his house. A struggle ensued between one of the males and the homeowner. A man, aged 37, sustained a stab wound to the upper body and subsequently died.

This is a troubling case as UK law says that a home owner is entitled to use reasonable force to defend himself and his property - clearly a 78 year old man who disarms one of two burglars and then stabs him with his own weapon is within the guideline - http://www.ukpreppersguide.co.uk/what-are-the-uk-self-defence-laws-legal-self-defence/
(sorry about the crappy source but is is more comprehensive that most but for the definitive try https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/self-defence-and-prevention-crime)

I wonder if we are not being told something?
