S11E05 | The Murder of Fred Barras (Emneth Hungate, Norfolk, 1999)

In this episode, I tell the story of Fred Barras, a 16-year-old boy killed in Emneth Hungate, Norfolk, on August 20, 1999.


Fred and his friend, 29-year-old Brendon Fearon, were burgling the isolated farmhouse Bleak House when its owner, 54-year-old farmer Tony Martin, caught them in the act and unloaded his shotgun at them. Both men were hit, but only Fred died due to his injuries.


Tony was handed a life sentence in April 2000 after being found guilty of murder. His conviction was later reduced to manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility in October 2001 after a successful appeal.


Receiving a retrospective five-year prison sentence, Tony served just over three and was released in August 2003.


Almost a quarter of a century after the shooting at Bleak House, this case remains one of the most divisive in British history.
