A carer who suffocated a suspected burglar while performing a citizen’s arrest has been cleared of manslaughter.
Nathan Smith, 38, knelt on 43-year-old Craig Wiltshire’s back for nine minutes in the early hours of November 20 2019 after tackling him in the street.
He refused to ease off even when the victim twice told him he could not breathe, telling him “I don’t give a shit what you can and can’t do”.
