Sir: I am appalled at the way in which a decent, hard-working and responsible citizen like Tony Martin ("Man charged over killing of `burglar' ", 25 August) should be charged with murder as a result of defending his family home, when the local police force was unable to protect his property over a substantial period of time.
We should be more concerned with removing the apparent sympathy towards those thieves who wreck lives, than with condemning an unfortunate, desperate man.
I find the entire incident deeply disturbing.
