I'm rather confused as to why he is being arrested here, it'll be interested to see if he is convicted and sentenced. British  and many other western countries need to update their laws in this regard especially in home defence cases.

In Ireland we have had a few wins for the freedoms of people defending their selves, family and property in recent years with some clear prescientant made for the future but this could go anyway in the ever regressing UK.

Police everywhere in the world have to investigate otherwise you get cases where someone invites another person to their home and kills them claiming self defence from a forced entry, in this case the police have found it's a genuine self defence so have let him go.
