whilst killing a man is not a solution to a problem, how long until he was murdered in his own home by burglars who were determined to fleece him of his property?
The law failed this man, I hope it doesn't fail you too.

I was shocked too when I heard it but it turns out that this Martin guy was really planning to kill people. Don't remember the full details though. The guy seems like a maniac, besides he's back in jail, this time for stealing.
In short, the current law provides protection only to people who kill while defending their property unless it's shown that the force used was unreasonable.
The guy had an unlicensed shotgun and shot a teenage thief in the back while he was running away.
