The public are not allowed to take the law into their own hands, a jury trying a man accused of suffocating a suspected burglar has been told.

Full-time carer Nathan Smith, 38, is accused of killing 43-year-old Craig Wiltshire, who suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest when the defendant tackled him in the street and pinned him down.
