Car thief 'suffocated after 17-stone man sat on him', inquest told

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/ ... -told.html

Quote:
An overweight man, Brian Machin, was arrested for unlawful killing after sitting on and suffocating a carjacker trying to steal his vehicle, an inquest heard.


Quote:
The cousins, who said they “showed no malice” towards him, were later arrested on suspicion of unlawful killing.
They faced six months of uncertainty while awaiting a decision from the Crown Prosecution Service about whether they would be charged.
The case was eventually dropped because prosecutors could not “establish that the force used was excessive”.

Feel sorry for the bloke. (The fat man, not the thieving little sod.)

Same here. He was not malicious. It might have been avoided if the police were quicker to the scene.
