Pensioner arrested on suspicion of murder after a suspected burglar was stabbed to death.

Of course you're going to be arrested if you kill someone!

Does anybody really think that the plod walk in, take a statement, take the body away and leave you to go back to sleep?

I doubt it, but some seem to think a 'killer' should be released before the investigation has got to the point where the police are satisfied they have enough reason to do so.

not pistorius, boxing

followed by a points decision

Ahh, that sort of 5 rounds. Will there be an Italian ref to step in and ruin the whole bloody thing every time something looks to be happening?

A 78 year old getting the better of someone under 40 is quite something in itself. I don't know, assuming no charges are brought, I wonder how safe the guy will now feel in his own home? Retribution being what it is.

For sure he’s got a lot of hassle on his plate including being arrested and perhaps wanting to move house when he should be enjoying his retirement.

They do when its another copper

Existentialist made out I was saying it shouldn’t be investigated. When I pointed out nobody had said that you pointed to a position (of him being released) equating to that. It doesn’t.

Whaaaaaaaaaat?

Yeah, I wondered that. When my Ma got burgled she didn't feel safe at home any more, and said it didn;t feel like her home anymore, and eventually got a move to another estate. People sometimes overlook the ongoing impact on victims - especially older ones.

That's exactly my point. What more information do they need? A statement from the other burglar?

Self defence is no offence.

 

[DownwardDog]

The full Pistorius? Lets hope it's not next door's kid climbing through an open window to get his ball back.

More like the full Lethbridge-Stewart.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Whaaaaaaaaaat?

Never mind.

Come back MrSki , all is forgiven.

 

[Smokeandsteam]

Come back MrSki , all is forgiven.

At he was being all post-modern and ironic about his concerns for the process. You actually seem to believe the police are objective.

Charge or release.

Oh well blow me down and lookie here. He's been bailed. How surprising. I'd never have expected that to happen. Fucking OB are wankers and tosspots.

'Burglar' murder probe suspect bailed

 

[cupid_stunt]

They have to complete their investigation and prepare a file for consideration by senior officers and/or CPS for a decision regarding bail, all this takes time.

ETA: OK, just seen spy's post, hardly surprising.

Great photo of him the press are using btw. If I ever get arrested again I'd love them to use a photo like that, unless it was drink driving I guess.

discord in the police ranks as it turns out there are no pies left for the pcsos.

But he could be a murderer....

He could go home and murder his wife who he's been caring for for years....

If another poor victim of 'the cuts' attempts to rob his home and is tooled up who will guarantee the poor mites safe passage...

Bet the cop in the forensic suit in the photo further down is less impressed with his picture, I think he'll forever be known as PC Teletubby in the station.

not sure it's right to use the phrase a 'victim of the cuts' atm. another phrase might have been more seemly.

What the fuck are you banging on about now? I get the feeling that you're about to make an argument that would make some of the other stuff on this thread seem sane.

one some? want some? wun tun?

 

[existentialist]

Is anyone saying it shouldn’t be investigated? What a bizarre strawman.

Quite a few people seem to be taking exception to the way in which the police are dealing with the householder.

No, he didn't. You took that interpretation, all by yourself.

Quite a few people on here better hope they're never in the same position...

"So, Mr. U75, can you explain why 3 years previous to this incident you were boasting on the internet about how anyone you find in your house is going to be beaten to death with **insert heavy implement of your choice here*** please?"

might be worse, might be 'so mr u75, please can you explain why we found the burglar dead with a heavy implement inserted in his fundament'

 

[Magnus McGinty]

No, he didn't. You took that interpretation, all by yourself.

What did he mean then if my ‘interpretation’ is incorrect?

It's only Magnus and S&S not getting their heads round that one, tbf.

I may have missed it, but I don't recall anyone boasting about beating anyone to death, only that they would take action to defend themselves and/or family, which is well within the law.
