Agree 100% Here, thank God if you stab him on your property and you are grey haired like myself you DO get away with it. You only have to make it sufficiently credible that you felt threatened.. like me as a woman living alone that is fine. I only have to make sure to kill him with a machete or bread knife, a normal household item, not a weapon. I have a great big machete next to my bed at all times and that is perfectly legal.

I hope someone is looking after the old boy's mental welfare.
What he went through would have been traumatic and will probably affect the years he has left. |

AMBxx, a machete is a normal everyday household item in many parts of the world.
Since Annette is in Costa Rica then it would be a very useful everyday tool. Brendan |

To clearify on my first post. All under the assumption that it went as described in the newspaper.
In these cases where people have endured a very traumatic experience, violence and taking an other mans life, I had hoped he would be first treated as a victim. And give HIM assistance in dealing with this terrible situation. Instead aggrevating the situation by arresting him and put HIM in jail. The main reason for me is that the police can/should presume that he hasn’t committed a crime because he acted in self defense and therefore the interest of the victim should be the first priority. a defender from 1984 pretending to be a puma with a touch of Range Rover |

TDi4, the elderly gentleman was not put in jail, yes he may well been kept overnight in police custody.
From . BBC news just now
The police do have to investigate the death of the 37 year old intruder. Hopefully the 'facts' are as have been reported so far and hopefully no charges will be brought against Mr Osborn-Brooks. However the police have to do their work . Hopefully the Coroners Court will put the death of the intruder down as something like 'accidental death/lawful killing' etc so no charges will be brought against Mr Osborn-Brooks What we do not know is the actual cause of death at this moment in time. Was it a single stab wound to the front of the intruder or was it say multiple stab wounds to the back of the intruder? Brendan |

Maybe Annette’s bedroom looks like ours on our Mexico holiday last year.

The man should be elevated to the House of Lords as he has done more for the public good than most of the self serving politicians who are sent there. Such a shame he did not manage to get the other one, he could have had the George Medal as well.

The intruder killed during a raid on a pensioner's home was wanted over a separate burglary involving another elderly victim, it has emerged.
Henry Vincent, 37, from Kent, was stabbed during a break-in at the home of pensioner, Richard Osborn-Brooks, 78, in Hither Green on Wednesday. In January, he was named and pictured by Kent Police investigating a distraction burglary when jewellery and valuables were stolen from a man in his 70s Well I guess Karma really does exist then...... 2015 HT XS 90 2008 SVX 90 2000 XS TD5 90 |

the sad thing is, I have read a few stories of people at his age been done over, and they have sadly ended up in hospital or worse. Now this old fella fought back and fought for his life too, what was the idiot going to expect, the old fella just stand there etc?
good on the old fella, hope they drop the charges. All the old fella wants is to enjoy his life. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back In the words of my Good Friend, Gary Forrest 1980 -2025 " we will work something out" |
