Or if you're half asleep, accidentally brain a relative, or hang a picture up ?
If someone kills somebody they are usually arrested until the full facts are known. If they have acted unlawfully they'll get charged, which hasn't happened. You could reasonably disable somebody or defend yourself, but what if they go on to kill/torture once the intruder has been rendered unconscious? Not that I'm saying that this has happened here; but the facts have to be established. Even if charged you're presumed innocent until proved guilty in a court.
