Farmer will not face charges after shooting 'burglar' dead on his own land
A farmer won't face charges after shooting an alleged burglar on his Derbyshire property. Marcus Smith, 19, of Chapel-en-le-Frith, was pronounced dead at an address in Whaley in the early hours of May 1, 2024. Rob Lomas, who is in his 50s, confronted the alleged teenage intruder at his remote farm. Mr Lomas then discharged a legally held firearm at the teenager and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder.
