““The right to kill in defending against a robbery does not end as soon as there is such a change of possession of the property taken as will render the crime technically complete, but remains with the owner as long as the property is in his immediate presence, and the killing of the robber will prevent it from being carried away. ’’ Flynn v. Commonwealth, 204 Ky. 572 .”
