The events described below are true.

A relative of an acquaintance of mine has been arrested for murder this week. Someone burgled his house. He hit him, and then kept on hitting and kicking him until he was sure the burglar would not get up again and re-attack. The burglar died.

Two thoughts for Tony B Liar. First, pamphlets (not even setting out your wishful thinking) do not change the law. Second, how is a little householder safe if a big burglar might get up again?
