Brendon Fearon

Brendon Fearon is seeking at least £100,000 compensation from freed farmer Tony Martin. That’s more than SIX TIMES the £15,000 the career criminal was initially after. And the move comes just days after his brother Joe insisted he was dropping his lawsuit. Fearon has made a ludicrous string of claims in a writ presented to the High Court and funded by legal aid. His lawyers maintain that he cannot...

... enjoy decent sex because of his leg injuries.

... watch TV programmes involving tragedy, because he “becomes very tearful if he sees a film in which someone dies”.

... work, even though he has never held down a job for any length of time.

... carry on with his hobbies of jujitsu and kick boxing, or

... lead a proper social life because he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder.

He says his leg injuries prevent him from working, yet he RAN away from newsmen outside his home in Newark, Notts.

Prison sources say Fearon, recently released early from an 18-month sentence for supplying heroin, worked out regularly in jail. And his brother joked that Fearon had “a lot of catching up to do” with his girlfriend. Even so the crook, who has 35 convictions dating back to when he was 14, is determined to push ahead with his action. A close associate said, “He wants at least £100,000 and has been told he will win. He could get even more because that is his right. Just because he was on someone’s property doesn’t give someone the right to shoot him. Mr Martin will have to pay the price.”

Fearon's criminal record goes back almost 20 years. Here is the full list of his convictions, along with the punishments he received from courts.

Brendon Fearon was branded a fraud after he was seen striding briskly from his house with no sign of a limp, and dashing to catch a bus as it drove off.
Fearon left his end of terrace house, walked into Newark town centre, Notts, and caught a bus. He declined to comment on pictures said to show him riding a bike. Later he ran for another bus. An onlooker said, "It was as plain as day. He saw it was moving off and just jogged right after it. There was no sign of a limp. You would not have thought he was in any physical difficulty."

Fearon was back in jail after being arrested and recalled to prison by the Home Office after he appeared before magistrates in Newark, Nottinghamshire, accused of taking a Toyota Landcruiser without the owner's consent and driving without insurance. The court was told that Fearon should have been observing a 7pm until 7am home curfew when the offences are said to have been committed in Newark on 24 August. A police officer is believed to have said he saw him in a car.

An urgent review of the case was ordered by Home Office officials, who informed David Blunkett, the Home Secretary, after they learnt the police did not appear to have told the probation service of the alleged breach. They also want to know why Nottinghamshire Police did not arrest the suspect until 11 days after the alleged incident.
