(34 minutes later) | |
Farmer Tony Martin, who was jailed after a fatal shooting in 1999, has been arrested on suspicion of illegal firearm possession, the BBC understands. | |
Police said a man, 71, was in custody after his arrest on Thursday morning in the Wisbech area of Cambridgeshire. | |
Officers are searching a property in Norfolk. | |
Mr Martin lived alone at a farmhouse in Emneth Hungate, Norfolk, when he caught Brendon Fearon and Fred Barras inside. | |
He fired his shotgun three times towards the intruders, killing Mr Barras, 16. | |
The case provoked a national debate about the measures homeowners can take to defend their property. |
