Man Faces Murder Charge for Self Defense During Robbery

(Lancashire, England) A 34-year-old shopkeeper, Tony Singh, faces charges in the death of a fugitive career criminal who attempted to rob him.

Tony Singh fought back when Liam Kilroe, a career criminal, ambushed him in his car after closing time.

Kilroe, who was trying to steal Mr Singh's takings, staggered away with a stab wound from his own knife and died in a pool of blood.

The 25-year-old was on the run after being charged with two robberies.

Police called to the scene found Mr Singh in a state of shock, still sitting in his car and nursing serious knife wounds to his back, face and neck.

However, the officers arrested the 34-year-old and are preparing to send a file to the Crown Prosecution Service.

A murder charge would carry a life sentence on conviction.

Lancashire Police have processed the papers for Mr. Singh to be charged with murder, manslaughter or assault. Crown Prosecution lawyers will now decide. Hopefully, they'll use some common sense.
