Dal Mirror:
Samurai dad who sliced off 'rape' yob's ear cleared for defending family
By Paul Byrne 11/02/2010

A dad who used a samurai sword to wound a thug threatening his family in their home was cleared of assault.

David Fullard opened his door to find two drug-crazed drunks armed with a knuckleduster and a spade and demanding money.

After they threatened to rape his girlfriend and kill him and his two teenage sons, he grabbed the ornamental sword and severed an ear from one of the men with a single blow.

The Crown Prosecution Service refused to believe it was self-defence and charged him with unlawfully wounding the man - named Michael Severs - saying it was "over the top to use a battlefield weapon on someone".

Mr Fullard, who faced eight years' jail if convicted,was cleared by a Hull jury in November but reporting restrictions were imposed as the yobs were due in court for affray.
