Martin's actions in 1999 sparked a nationwide debate over the measures homeowners can take to defend their property, and landed Martin a five-year sentence for manslaughter.
The King’s Lynn, Norfolk, service did not refer directly to him killing Fred Barras, 16, in 1999 but quoted a relative saying he was a victim of “horrendous” attacks on his farm.
Martin came into the spotlight when he fired an illegal gun at two intruders from his Norfolk farmhouse in 1999, killing one and wounding the other.
MORE than 100 family and friends gathered yesterday for the funeral of Tony Martin, jailed for shooting dead a teen burglar.
But according to a close relative, where Martin's money will end up is an ongoing mystery because of how "private" and "frugal" the farmer was.
