One of the men, reportedly armed with a screwdriver, died following a struggle inside the house. Mr Osborn-Brooks was arrested on suspicion of murder.
A friend of Mr Osborn-Brooks lamented the decision, writing on Facebook: "So a 78-year-old man gets burgled by two men.
"There is a scuffle and the old man has slight injuries but managed to stab one of the burglars and he shortly died.
"The other burglar is on the run but the 78-year-old is arrested for murder.
"So this is British justice is it? Where is our protection?
"The old man deserves a medal and to be let free. I really can’t believe this has happened to him. I am in total shock."
