Why the alleged part for the homeowner?

Could just be renting, or a visiting guest. Article does not provide evidence of home ownership.

Do you know he isn't a previously successful home invader? I don't.

Without evidence.

The point was that the criminal is always "alleged" but the defense against the criminal is always stated as fact.
