Homeowner's wife and son fled the house in terror. Second suspected intruder being hunted by police.

A father has been arrested on suspicion of murder after allegedly stabbing to death an intruder during an attempted burglary at his home last night.

Police were called to Midland Road in Bramhall, Stockport, at around 7.50 pm last night after reports that two men had forced their way into a house. Officers responding to the call discovered a man, thought to be in his 30s, with serious knife injuries.

...

Police believe that the two men had entered the property and threatened him.

Mr Cooke was home alone at the time but his wife, Karen, and their son returned during the altercation and were able to escape unhurt.

...

Neighbours spoke of their shock about the incident...'If you have children though, you do anything to protect your home.'

Another neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said: 'Whoever tried to break into the house deserved all they got.'

Don’t protect your family, it’s hard to be a good little victim when you’re busy defending your home and family. /s

Here’s a bet for anyone willing to take it. No charges will be pressed against this man. The police are carrying out their enquiries, will see that he acted in self-defence and will be sent along his way.

We have totally lost our freedom and the right to protect ourselves. We are now closer to a police State than ever in American history.

In the formerly Great Britain, since he'd already crossed that 'harsh admonishment' line, may as well shank the guy, you're going to jail anyway.

Status in hell is determined by the size of your honor guard. Kill them all, God will surely know his own. No quarter until we have a civilization again.

Why have the British citizens allowed themselves to be castrated that way. They should revolt and lop off the heads of their Masters. Reclaim their country.

You would be corect about the U.S. as a Police State. However, this happened in the U.K.

Yep. My bet still stands. It’s the third such incident this summer, and the previous two have both ended in the same manner.

Another in the annals of “don’t call the police” stories.

In England the home owner will get life in prison. The thugs family will get a state pension.

Fine, but why does he get arrested and hauled off to jail?

Is this England?

If so - you have NO RIGHT to protect yourself or family

No charges will be pressed against the homeowner. The police are just following procedure.

Here’s the other two incidents from earlier this summer:

Salford Burglar stabbed - no charges against homeowner
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-14248097

Shopkeeper, 72, will not face charges over florist raid death
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8746440/Shopkeeper-72-will-not-face-charges-over-florist-raid-death.html

Nothing will happen to this homeowner. Mark my words

I hope the anonymous neighbor isn’t arrested for a thought crime and gets sent to a re-education camp.

The UK is leading the West into the abyss of destruction. Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
