THE convicted killer of a teenage intruder in his home has died at the age of 80, a family friend has said.

Tony Martin shot a 16-year-old at his Norfolk farmhouse in 1999.

The following year, Martin was jailed for the boy’s murder and for injuring another 29-year-old man, Brendan Fearon, in the same incident.

Martin was released three years later when his murder conviction was reduced to manslaughter.

Living on his own near Wisbech, the semi-derelict farmhouse was in Emneth Hungate.
