London: Battle over shrine to dead burglar as residents tear down tributes while family complain

A battle between "disgusted" vigilantes and grieving relatives has begun as tributes to an intruder killed in a botched burglary are repeatedly torn down.

Heartbroken friends of Henry Vincent, 37, who was stabbed to death by pensioner Richard Osborn-Brooks after raiding his home believe they have a right to lay flowers 20 yards from the break-in.

But furious supporters of Mr Osborn-Brooks and his disabled wife think a twisted shrine to a man intent on robbing two elderly people is "shameful".
