In the early hours of 7 August 1985, 24-year-old Jeremy Bamber claims to have received a chilling phone call from his father. ‘Your sister’s gone berserk, and she’s got a gun’ When the line went dead, Jeremy called the police. What was eventually discovered inside White House Farm shocked the nation; Nevill and June Bamber, their daughter Sheila, and her twin six-year-old sons, Daniel and Nicholas had all been shot dead with a rifle, and at first sight everything pointed towards Sheila having been the perpetrator of a murder-suicide. Within weeks though, the case took a dramatic turn and in 1986 Jeremy Bamber was convicted of murdering his family and sentenced to life in prison without any chance of release. Despite several failed attempts at appeal, decades on his dedicated team of campaigners continues to work tirelessly to clear his name. But is the evidence they claim to have uncovered cast-iron proof of his innocence, or merely a misinterpretation of the evidence proving his guilt? This compelling book revisits the original investigation, trial, and the sometimes outlandish theories that have kept the case in the public eye since 1985. Jeremy Bamber - Murder and Turmoil at White House Farm examines not just the crime but the complex and ongoing fight surrounding it.
