Tony Martin, who has died aged 80, was sentenced to life in prison in 2000 for the murder of a teenage criminal he caught burgling his house; the case became a cause célèbre, touching a raw nerve among Britain’s homeowners and revealing a huge gulf between public opinion and the priorities of Britain’s criminal justice system.

Martin served three years in prison after shooting Fred Barras, 16, at his home in Emneth Hungate, Norfolk, in 1999.

Martin died aged 80 today - 25 years after he was initially imprisoned for the killing of Fred Barras and injuring of Brendan Fearon at his Emneth Hungate farmhouse
