He came here to kill us': Terrified pensioner who shot dead burglar who was armed with machete and grenade through door of his caravan says he had no choice
Reuben Gregory shot dead Wayne Digby as he attempted to rob his caravan
Gregory insists he was trying to maim the burglar rather than kill him in Berks
he claims he would have been killed if had he not pulled the trigger first.
Speaking outside his caravan home, with a new door fitted as a result of the fatal shooting, Reuben Gregory said the fateful night of the burglar killing had ruined his life.

Although the 72-year-old maintained he never intended to hurt his attacker, he insisted it proved to be a case of kill or be killed.

Officers found a rucksack next to Wayne Digby's lifeless body, containing a machete, mallet, cable ties and the ingredients for a crude Molotov c0cktail made out of half a tennis ball, a flammable liquid and a rag.

'From what I was told by the police and from what I heard in the courtroom, looking at what he had - he came here to kill [him and his sister Cathy],' said Gregory.

I'm assuming he wasn't a machete or grenade salesman?

Case closed. * +

'I told the police at the time and I'll tell you again, I only wanted to scare him away, that's all I wanted to do. I wouldn't want to harm or injure anybody.

'That's not who we are, we're just normal, ordinary people. If I wanted to hurt people I wouldn't wait to be broken into - I'd go out and do it.

'That's why I put the gun down and fired it on the deck. If I'd pointed it up I thought I might have hit him so I pointed it down low, but the police said he must have been crouching just in front of the door which is how I hit him.'
'He would have killed us, definitely, that's why he was here,' he added.

'If he'd have got through the door I wouldn't be telling you this today - me and my sister Cathy would both be dead. He meant to kill us.

'Why would he have brought all that stuff if he didn't want to use it. He took time to plan to do us harm. I can't believe that anyone could do that.'
