A businessman who was almost beaten to death by three crowbar-wielding burglars claims police haven't carried out DNA tests to identify his attackers – because they can't afford to pay for them.

IT consultant Simon Pither, 36, was savagely beaten over the head when he interrupted the gang at his £300,000 home.

The married father of two sustained such serious skull injuries during the assault that doctors told him he was lucky to be alive.

The three men, who were black and aged between 17 and 25, made off with a camera, an iPod, a watch and some memory sticks.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
"

From William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
