Farmer who shot burglar dead is freed

BRITISH farmer Tony Martin was last night enjoying his first taste of freedom for nearly four years and looking forward to pocketing an estimated 140,000 after selling his story.

Martin, 58, was freed on licence after serving two thirds of a five-year sentence for the manslaughter of 16-year-old burglar Fred Barras.

He was held at a safe house over the weekend after being moved from Highpoint prison in Suffolk last week for security reasons.
