After as farmer and his young wife are arrested by Leicestershire Constabulary for blasting intruders with a shot gun, MP for Rutland & Melton issued a statement.
In his statement this afternoon Mr Duncan, a Government minister, said: “If this is a straightforward case of someone using a shotgun to defend themselves against burglars in the dead of night, then I would hope that the police will prosecute the burglars and not my constituents.
“The householder is the victim here, and justice should support them and prosecute the burglars.”
