SAMUEL Quamina was attacked in his London home by three armed intruders.
He defended himself with a knife and one of the intruders was killed.
The police charged him with murder but the jury found him not guilty and decided that the force he had used to defend his home was reasonable.
It seems to me that the police are always on the side of the criminal and never on the side of the householder defending his home.
Britain is soft on crime but very tough on any victims of crime who try to defend their homes.
