“It is fascinating that at a time when the Justice Secretary has called for householders to be permitted to tool up against burglars and use disproportionate force, international news is filled with the story of the killing of Reeva Steenkamp in South Africa. Oscar Pistorius has stated in a sworn on affidavit that he fired the gun thinking she was a burglar. Like any deceased in a murder allegation, Reeva Steenkamp is not here to confirm or refute the version of events given by the suspect.”
