He was arrested for murder, if they had taken him for questioning then I obviously would understand.Of course they arrested him, they can’t just say , without investigating , no worries mate off you go .
It’s ridiculous to even think that .

The way the law works means they have to arrest then interview then decide using the facts given whether to pass it on to the cps for prosecutionThey have to arrest him, that’s how it works , his story could of been a lie .
But they never charged him because they investigated it and his story checked out , the police acted totally professionally in this case .
Good on him fir defending himself and his wife against 2 intruders , this kind of story is the best deterrent to thieving scum .

He didn’t have a murder charge pinned on him, he was never charged, they had to arrest him , if his story was false and they left he could of done a runner .He should have been asked to come to the Police Station to assist with their enquiries. I think he had gone through enough without having a murder charge pinned on him.
The Police were very heavy handed with a 78 year old man.
You don't have to be arrested to be interviewed, they could have asked him to go to the Police Station to assist their enquiries. If he had refused then they would have had to arrest him. But to arrest him of suspicion of murder, rather than suspicion of manslaughter, if he had refused, is heavy handed. The dead man was well known as someone that targeted elderly people and was wanted over another burglary.The way the law works means they have to arrest then interview then decide using the facts given whether to pass it on to the cps for prosecution
I have been arrested as a youth when a youth club I used to frequent was burgled the day after I had a big row with the guy who ran it and walked off
They took prints then checked them against forensics to eliminate me from their enquiries
Yes I had the hump about it but that is how the law works
Without arresting you you have no obligation to go to the police station and be interviewed about it
They obviously decided he feared for his safety enough to take such drastic measures as it is a grey area.. the law states you can use force proportionate to how much you yourself fear for your or your families safety
What you feel is necessary somebody else in the same situation may not
The problem with just interviewing him is that he can simply say no , they have no choice but to arrest him when he has killed someone .He was arrested on suspicion of murder, he didn't have to be arrested. Don't you think he had already gone through enough. They could have interviewed him to assist their inquiries. A 78 year old man is going to do a runner :1f602:
I promise you I'm anything but a do-gooder, the dead guy was a known peace of scum. The potential murderer was 78 years old. It was probably the potential murderer that rang the Police to report the crime.This is the great example of how the law should work. Police covered all angles did everything right arrested him in case his story didn't check and means they can gather all evidence needed. Investigate quickly decide he's innocent and release him. Job done glad the old boy and wife are ok. What do gooders who think he shouldn't be arrested don't get is the copper probably got there in middle of night with dead body and someone with blood on hands in front of them. They can't go tell u what mate come on Wednesday at 10am for a chat if u fancy! They need all the evidence find out he was a burglar and guy is innocent and let him go.
You’re right, the police would be heavily critised if they didn’t carry out a full investigation.This is the great example of how the law should work. Police covered all angles did everything right arrested him in case his story didn't check and means they can gather all evidence needed. Investigate quickly decide he's innocent and release him.
