US authorities say a father who caught a man sexually assaulting his four-year-old daughter and beat him to death may not face charges.
The father, from Texas, punched the man repeatedly in the head, killing him, Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon said.
The girl had been left inside the family's house during a social gathering on Saturday while other members of her family were tending to horses, Sheriff Harmon told CNN. He said the father returned to the house and caught the man abusing his daughter before unleashing his attack. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The girl was taken to a local hospital for examination before being released and was "OK besides the obvious mental trauma," Harmon said.
He said the father was ''very remorseful'' and did not know the other man was going to die. "You have a right to defend your daughter," Harmon said after being asked whether police would press charges against the girl's father. ''He acted in defence of [of her]. Once the investigation is completed we will submit it to the district attorney who then submits it to the grand jury, who will decide if they will indict him.''
Neither man has been publicly identified.

SIFU NET AND THE WING CHUN RIDDLE
An article.
"The internet is a goldmine of information about various kung-fu systems including Wing Chun kung-Fu, each promoting their own particular theories over the internet and through other media. With so much information now freely available surely, logic would suggest, it should be easier to learn kung-fu....."

A FRENCH student managed to escape a man who stabbed her on a street in Melbourne's north after hitting him several times in the face.
The 26-year-old woman suffered a deep cut to her arm and needed eight stitches after the confrontation in North Fitzroy on Monday.
Investigators have been told the man approached the woman from behind as she walked along Brunswick St, near Freeman St, about 4.20am.
It's believed the man grabbed her left arm, prompting a struggle.
He was forced to let the woman go after being hit several times in the face.
The man, believed to be aged in his late 30s to early 40s, fled the scene and was last seen walking north along Brunswick St.
The woman then realised she had received a cut to her arm.
A local resident heard the woman’s screams for help.
The victim was taken to St Vincent's Hospital with serious injuries.
She will speak about her ordeal this morning in a bid to help catch the attacker.
Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to.
He is described as Caucasian with a thin build and short blond hair.
He wore a grey T-shirt and jeans or possibly shorts.
