Martin has now returned to his Norfolk farm

Here are some key quotes from the interview, given to BBC Radio 4's Today Programme.

On the night of the burglary:

"I had gone to bed that night like anybody else does, but unfortunately because I find it comfortable to relax with my clothes on, you get incriminated that you are waiting for burglars.

"If you can't sleep in your house without someone accusing you of that, then God help us.

"I can assure you I was not waiting for a burglar and I wasn't sitting in an armchair, I had gone to sleep like anybody else and the rest is history."

On the shooting:

"It [the shotgun] wasn't loaded and I had never used the gun before in my life, I'd had it for several years.

"I didn't intend to shoot anybody and I didn't know I had. It wasn't until the next day, sometime afterwards that I found out.

"I only knew what happened to me, I don't know what happened to anyone else."

On being charged:

"I hate the way they did it, they said 'We found a person in your garden and we are now going to charge you with murder, do you understand.'

"Quite honestly at that stage, I didn't understand anything anymore."

On remorse:

"I'm not an unfeeling man.

"Every time [Barras's] family sees me in the paper, all it does, if they are trying to settle down to however people accept personal things, it brings it all back again.

"But I can't do anything about it.

"I can't be responsible for the actions of other people.

"If the people hadn't been in my house it would never have happened."

On newspaper payments:

"I haven't taken any money from the Daily Mirror for my story and if I do it will be for my legal cases and any money left over will go to charity."

On being a victim:

"People say that they wouldn't think much could frighten Tony, but I tell you what, you can frighten anybody.

"Nobody knows the real story and what I experienced. I just think that I am an unfortunate person, a victim of circumstance but I know officially, high up, that's not how other people see it.
