A pensioner has been arrested after a suspected burglar was killed during a violent tussle at his home. The 78-year-old was held on suspicion of murder after the 38-year-old died of his wounds in hospital in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Police said the struggle broke out after the pensioner found two men inside his home in South Park, Hither Green, south London shortly after midnight. One of the burglars, who was armed with a screwdriver, forced the homeowner into his kitchen while his accomplice went upstairs. Detectives believe a struggle then took place between "one of the males and the homeowner" and the 38-year-old intruder was stabbed in the upper body. He was later found collapsed in nearby Further Green Road by paramedics from London Ambulance Service, who took him to a central London hospital where he died at 3.37am. The second suspect fled the scene before police arrived and is now being hunted by the Met’s Homicide and Major Crime Command. Gordon Williams, a local resident, said: "I could hear people moaning in the street and just thought it was someone drunk. I saw the body laid in the street and another guy jump in a van and leave. "I leaned over him and tried to reassure him. There was a lot of blood." In a statement Scotland Yard said: “At 00:45hrs on Wednesday, 4 April, police were called by a homeowner to reports of a burglary in progress at an address in South Park Crescent, Hither Green SE6, and a man injured. “The 78-year-old resident found two males inside the address. A struggle ensued between one of the males and the homeowner. The man, aged 37, sustained a stab wound to the upper body.”

In England you have no right to defend yourself.
They want to do that to the USA, too, eventually.
I wonder if he stabbed an “Asian”? Britspeak for muslim.
Can’t be doing that, now can we?
England is gone.
So a 78 year old goes into his house and finds two 30-something year old burglars. The burglars are armed and struggle with the 78 year old. The 78 year old wins the struggle, killing one of the burglars. And the police hold and seriously consider charging the 78 year old with murder. That is insanity that goes beyond even what you might find in Stalin’s Russia or Hitler’s Germany.
Here, they are already doing it to cops.
Old men are not allowed to return any of the ultraviolence back to Alex and his droogs.
What is the point of the “murder” charge?
How do you plan the “murder” of someone who is assaulting you in your home?
Gotta be muzzies and they arrested the old man so as not to cause the peace-lovers to burn down the neighborhood.
Thatcher would have razed and burned the neighborhood for them.

He would be going thru the exact same thing if he had lived the last 50 years of his life with a 12 gauge under his bed, only with a much more secure peace of mind.
Norman Brennan, a former police officer who represents victims’ interests,
said police were required to arrest the pensioner in order to investigate whether he had acted in self defence.
But he said he would be “amazed” if he was prosecuted over the death.
“The law says that a person can use reasonable force when defending himself, his family or property.
If the intruder is running away the threat has diminished but if that person stays where they are that’s an assault
and if they are armed with a weapon then it would be regarded as aggravating circumstances,” said Mr Brennan.
Was his name Harry Brown?
Thatcher
I miss her, John Paul and Reagan!
We have Trump! Never for get it!!!

Let me guess... The burglars were Muslim...
I knew this happened in England before I even read the article. They’ll be ruled by Muslims a lot sooner than they think.
molon labe’ baby, molon labe.
This isn’t Europe where the men are taught to be sissy boys,
Here, chances the old man would have had a firearm and shot both perps. Justifiably.
Great flick! More documentary than dystopian, actually.
The Brit left now calls for screwdriver control laws...
Foreign conquest by a pro-Western nation is the only hope for survival of the UK we knew and loved.
