A man on trial for killing a suspected thief has told a jury he was performing a citizen's arrest and thought the man was faking it when he told him he could not breathe.

Nathan Smith, a 38-year-old carer, said he had no intention of hurting Craig Wiltshire, 43, but simply wanted to detain him until the police arrived. He denies manslaughter.
