Yup. A person can be asked to come down to the Police Station, or the Police can come to the persons home and ask to make a statement.

Meanwhile, while the targeted house is still a crime scene, they can do their own internal investigations, assess the injuries on the dead body and any potential injuries on the victim(s).

As I said, the pensioner did not set out to go murder someone that night, so it's not murder, the ******* and trouble came to him, in his own home, burglar came off worse.
