Convicted killer Tony Martin has said he is considering standing as an MP in a bid to change the law which saw him jailed for killing a burglar.

The Norfolk farmer served three years of a five-year term for shooting dead intruder Fred Barras, 16, at Bleak House, his remote farmhouse in 1999.

A second burglar Brendan Fearon, 33, was seriously injured in the incident.

Martin, 59, told the Daily Mirror if he did stand he would campaign for a "return to law and order and decency."

"Everywhere I go people tell me how they are living in fear," he said.

"But none of the political parties seem to be prepared to do anything about it," he told the Mirror.

"I have only begun to think about standing for Parliament recently - but I will only stand if I believe I can make a difference," he added.

"I want to give people a voice and get something done," he said.
