SHAME on the Manchester Police for arresting 72 year old Papa Coley for murder after he killed an armed robber who was raiding a floristry shop.
Surely these buffoons must recognise that the chance of any murder charge 'sticking' under the given circumstances are slender at best. So why put this elderly man through even more grief? Or was it those 'worthies' at the CPS who insisted on this course of action?
If, at a later date, evidence emerges that a murder was committed then they could have arrested him at that point. But having noted who 'the victim' was - it already seems to be a prima facie case of self defence.Might I possibly suggest some form of medal ....?
