Only in the UK can people trespass and the land owner end up in court.

What?

They said they got lost. Should you be allowed to kill people that get lost and end up on your land?

How about the postman, is he fair game too?

Because killing someone doing no harm to you is ok... one of the people in my block of flats keeps leaving their bicycle in my parking space (which I own). Should I be aloud to run him over too?

Yes, but only as he's a cyclist.

Whatever happened, this terrible for all involved.

Hope the Farmer rots in jail, Scum. I'm all for defending your property but thats totally over the top reaction and no sign of sorrow for what he's done. I wish the bikers would have drove over him in his own fking landrover.

Wanton & furious driving - new one on me. Very sad for all involved though.

And how do you know that from what has been written?

It's an old offence (Sec 35 Offences Against the Person Act 1861), useful because it doesn't have to be on a road or public place. It can committed on private land.

Both at fault as far as I can see.

Guilty as charged I think.

The green laners were lost though, it said didn't it?

Surely that's all they're guilty of?

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

Sorry chaps, but this is a proper piss boiler for me. That poor bloke died under a fking land rover, how close was the driver following him for that to happen ffs? He wasnt a burglar, mugger or anything like that. He was a bloke out for a ride, albeit in the wrong place.

Very fking brave.

+1 - Burglars, gyppos are free rein in my book and trespassing is not good, but to mow down 2 bikers in anger over very little... He admits 'wanting to frighten them' to the police and said at the scene that 'you were on my land' after you've critically injured someone is just a joke.

That's manslaughter all day long if the facts are as reported.

Agreed. Youd have to be a very special brand of wker to do that.

You don't seriously think they were lost do you? They were riding without permission on his land. It doesn't matter whether they were walking, walking dogs, riding horses or riding bikes. They were trespassing. The land owner gave chase, the car tipped over onto one of them tough titty.

We have someone who seems to think my employers land is fine to trample over. Her husband has threatened a colleague, she has had a visit from the law and still continues to use our land has her own. Do we have to have the whole farm security fenced?

I hate to break it to you, but the land these people were riding on is rather key to the land owners business. Would they ride across the pitch at Wembley? How about around your garden?
