John Macaulay turned detective after an intruder ransacked his home in Heaton Mersey

A dad who turned detective to track down a burglary suspect has been denied justice after the suspect died before the case could be tried in court.

The crime took place in May 2021. The suspect had admitted fraud in connection with the use of the stolen bank cards but denied burglary. After more than a year a trial date was eventually fixed for November 2022 at Manchester Crown Court. He recalled: "It was my son Seth's birthday and it ruined it. But I suppose I was grateful my two children were not at home - it could have been worse if they had seen him. They arrived back 15 minutes later."

A CPS Spokesperson said: “We authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge a man with three charges of fraud and one charge of burglary on 25 August 2021.
