Two burglars entered a property on South Park Crescent in Hither Green, South London on April 4. <br /><br />The owner of the home, 78-year-old, Richard Osborn-Brooks found them inside and allegedly stabbed one of them to death after being threatened with a screwdriver.<br /><br />38-year-old Henry Vincent then left the property and collapsed nearby where he was found by paramedics with a stab injury to his upper body.<br /><br />He was taken to hospital but died soon after 3.30am.<br /><br />Police are still searching for Billy Jeeves, who is also suspected to be involved in the break-in although his van was found totally destroyed and burnt in Orpington.<br /><br />The home owner Richard Osborn-Brooks was initially arrested on suspicion of murder, but released with no further action.<br /><br />This has opened up national discussion about whether or not it is right to kill a burglar.<br /><br />Throughout the week, the street has become what can only be described as a floral battleground; the family of the deceased burglar have been tying flowers and balloons to the fence opposite the house involved as a shine to him whilst others have been tearing down the memorial.
