One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, or so the saying goes.
Shot dead yesterday by police in New Zealand having attempted to rob a shop, Tom Phillips, one of the world's most notorious fugitives, somehow still divides opinions.
For almost four years he had vanished into the New Zealand wilderness, taking his three young children with him.
Ignoring their mother's pleas to bring them home, while on the run, the 38-year-old carried out a string of armed robberies and when confronted by police in the early hours of Monday morning, shot a policeman in the head.
And yet even now there's still a misguided minority who see him as the 'victim'.
