A 78-year-old homeowner has been arrested by murder detectives after a suspected burglar who he fought in his own kitchen died of a stab wound. The pensioner is said to have attempted to fight off an intruder armed with a screwdriver after two men broke into his suburban home in Hither Green, south-east London last night. The homeowner is understood to have been forced into his kitchen, where a struggle ensued, leaving one of the alleged burglars bleeding from injuries to his upper body
The 38-year-old man was rushed to hospital when emergency services arrived and he later died. The 78-year-old homeowner was initially detained on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm but was later arrested on suspicion of murder
