Slight problem with your alibi Jack ... You just told us all about it

If someone enters your property to take your possessions you may legally use reasonable force to detain them or scare them off, you cannot kill them (unfortunately). Shades of the Norfolk farmer Tony Martin. If however somebody is attacking you with a knife you can pretty much do what you want as you are in fear of your life.

There is an old saying "Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six"

Apparently Liberty are going to take the case on on behalf of the dead robber they feel his human rights to theive were denied by the shopkeeper.

Good luck to them I say..how is an honest theif sposed to make a fair living to feed his crystal meths addiction if these vermin shopkeepers stand in their way

Damned disgrace..

Internet forums are sometimes used in case evidence so it pays to be a bit guarded

Billyo, the man who was killed by the shopkeeper was this in skemersdale? if it is I believe the deceased had lots of previous for this type of crime amongst other things..........good on the shopkeeper and in my eyes deserves a reward
