New photos show the dilapidated farmhouse where convicted killer Tony Martin shot dead a teenage intruder is finally being CLEARED OUT exactly ONE YEAR after he died on Feb 2.

The pictures show a huge pile of JUNK outside the crumbling remains of Bleak House, near Wisbech on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border, where the famous shooting took place in 1999. The massive heap of rubbish, which includes filing cabinets, drawers, a bicycle, oil drums and a lawnmower, suggest that whoever inherited the property from Martin, who died from a stroke at the age of 80, may finally be clearing it out ready to put on the market.

A yellow digger can also be seen parked near the rubbish pile, suggesting it has been used to clear the area and push all the debris together, ready for it to be taken away. The outbuildings now appear to be empty and the high grass and brambles, which were around the farmhouse a year ago, have also been trimmed, meaning the notorious property can finally be seen properly for the first time in decades.

Martin never returned to Bleak House after he finished his prison sentence for the manslaughter of 16-year-old Fred Barras in 2003, and is believed to have lived in cars, a barn and a rented house before his health declined.
