Tony Martin plans a book

Jailed farmer Tony Martin was said last night to be considering writing a book about his ordeal.

Martin, 58, will be freed next week from a five-year sentence for shooting dead a teenage burglar who broke into his isolated farmhouse in Norfolk.

His representatives have met armed robber-turned-author John McVicar to discuss his ideas for a book with the possible title My Right To Kill or I Will Not Say Sorry.

Martin's friend, Malcolm Starr, said: 'This is still in the early stages and nothing's been agreed.

'It's not at the top of Mr Martin's priorities. He's more worried about the condition of the corn in his fields.'
