Excellent news.

It was pretty galling to see the family of the deceased saying how he was such a nice person and whining that the pensioner had been released on bail.

I understand that the police had to investigate, but there should be a better way of doing it than arresting and bailing a pensioner who was only protecting his disabled wife, himself and his home from intruders.

Let's hope that this outcome makes burglars think twice, particularly those who think that the vulnerable in society are always easy pickings.
