A fundraiser has been set up by the son of a farmer arrested over the fatal shooting of a suspected burglar on his farm.
Rob Lomas, 50, is being questioned on suspicion of murder after Marcus Smith, 19, was found dead at his property at Mosley Hall Farm, in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire, on Wednesday morning.
The police received a report of a burglary in a building on the farm around 1.20 am.
Mr Lomas' son, Joshua, set up the Gofundme campaign with the hashtag 'freethefarmer'.
He wrote: 'We are raising much needed funds to support our family and my father, Rob, through this very difficult time.
“Rob has the most steadfast loyalty you could ever ask for in a father and friend and has always been there for me and all his many friends.

'Like any farmer, he works relentlessly in all weather conditions, but always makes time for a drink and a friendly, humorous chat.
'During the early hours of May 1, Rob encountered intruders at his property, having also suffered a burglary the night before. Further details are available online and I will not duplicate.
'Rob, Kate (his partner) and I now need help in the coming weeks. That's why we need your kind and extremely valuable help.
'Please donate whatever you can, every pound is hugely appreciated.'
The fundraiser has already raised more than £16,000 of its £10,000 target, with more than 600 people donating.
Mr Lomas was also arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a second teenager was found with gunshot wounds on the road near the farm.
