A father in Texas who killed a man after discovering him molesting his five-year-old daughter will not be charged with his death, officials have announced.
A grand jury decided against indicting the 24-year-old man for beating his daughter's attacker to death after the phone call he made to emergency services was heard as evidence in court.
The incident took place at a remote ranch near Shiner, Texas.
The decision was led by Texan legislation that permits the use of deadly force in order to prevent a sexual assault or aggravated sexual assault.
