Welby, Melton Mowbray Shootings, MP Alan Duncan "The householder is the victim here, and justice should support them and prosecute the burglars"



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.”
