  Tony Martin's actions may have been within reasonable force due to the burglars bringing a burglars tool kit into his house, showing intention and preparation to burgle
• Burglars


  • Brendon Fearon
  • Fred Barras
• Brendon Fearon appeared in Tony Martin's documentary to give his side of the story, but it was proven he was getting paid to do it, meaning he might try to switch the story up and change key information</b>
• Fred Barras was only 16 when the incident happened and had already committed shoplifting and a few burglaries
• Darren Bark, who drove the burglars, had already burgled Tony Martin's house and got sentenced to 2 and a half years
• Darren Bark drove the burglars 70 miles away from their area, showing intent so that the police in their area wouldn't have any suspicion of them
• Tony Martin stated that the burglars asked to be shot, and if they didn't want any trouble, they have still stepped onto someone else's property without any permission
• The police stopped the burglars' car for general checks on the way to Tony Martin's house, and if they had checked the boot, they would've seen the burglars' tool kit and could've stopped the whole incident
