Martin's conviction for murder was quashed and replaced by one of manslaughter on the ground of diminished responsibility.

Barras and Fearon had gone to Bleak House with another friend, Darren Bark, with the intention of burgling the property. As Bark waited in his car, Barras and Fearon were shot while prowling in the house. Both men escaped back through the window the way they came, Fearon was severely injured but got away and Barras was found dead in the bushes the following afternoon.
I don't know how long it took the Police to arrive, they were called by a nearby houseowner who answererd Fearon's knock at the door for medical help.

Brendan Fearon, 29, was jailed for three years at Norwich crown court.

Darren Bark, 33, was jailed for 30 months. He was also ordered to serve an extra 12 months for an unrelated burglary. Fearon and Bark asked for seven other offences to be taken into consideration.
