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.
