Jeremy Bamber

It was an extraordinary footnote, two of Britain's most infamous serial killers briefly sharing the same confined social world after completely different lives of murder.

Moore also became involved in the legal battle over whole life sentences, because along with notorious killers Jeremy Bamber and Douglas Vinter, he argued before the European Court of Human Rights that a sentence offering no realistic possibility of release amounted to inhuman or degrading punishment.

An initial challenge failed in 2012, but the Grand Chamber later ruled in 2013 that whole life sentences had to contain some possibility of review in principle.

Now that decision didn't free Moore, it didn't declare him safe.

Technically, it takes place December 7th of 1985, but realistically, it was the night of the 6th into the 17th, and if I were to summarize it right now, it would be at this place outside Essex and Glen on this night, a man and woman named Neville and June Bamber were shot and killed inside this farmhouse at White House Farm, which is on 300 acres, alongside their adopted daughter, Sheila, and Sheila's six-year-old twin sons, Daniel and Nicholas.

And the story we're going to be told is that the only surviving family member, Jeremy Bamber, who was also adopted.

Um, he would have been 24 years old when this happened, as opposed to Sheila being 28, uh, June and Neville are 61.

And obviously the twin, the six year olds are six.

Jeremy Bamber has been in prison for 41 years for the 1985 killings of five members of his family and continues to maintain his innocence.

The article examines whether officers received two calls about the incident at White House Farm, one at 3.26 a.m., possibly from Bamber's father Neville, and another at 3.36 a.m. from Bamber.

One police log records the later time, while another log and an officer's notes have been cited as evidence of an earlier call.

They had been shot in their beds.

Jeremy Bamber was convicted on evidence that's very flimsy with no chance of parole.

It all comes back to the phone call.

There is a sighting of movement inside the farmhouse.

Hello, and wonderful to be here.

Yes, again, unexpectedly.

Here I am, and a few months have gone by, and here we are to talk about Jeremy Bamber.

You're like my true crime guy.

Gen Z would love this.

Who had Jeremy Bamber? What was his fucking problem? Jeremy Bamber, more like Bamber Clark.

What?

Jeremy Bamber and Bamber Gascon.

It used to get them confused.

Of course, one made a murder look like a suicide and the other was the host of University Challenge.

They end up adopting two children.

They adopt Sheila Koffel and they adopt a little boy named Jeremy Bamber in this instance.

And these are kids they love, but June suffers from some pretty bad depression, right? And she has been in a psychiatric hospital multiple times throughout the 1950s.

After Sheila is adopted in 1958, according to court records, June is hospitalized and she is given electroshock therapy.

Yeah.

Sheila felt like June disapproved of her.

And according to what we can read about, June's relationship with Jeremy had gotten so distraught that they were basically estranged from another.

And he had apparently stopped speaking to her along the way.

A fresh examination of blood evidence from the White House farm murders calls into question a key element of the case against Jeremy Bamber.

Sue Carney Gannon, a forensic biologist working for The Guardian, claims the stains on Sheila Cofell's clothing and her right arm align with her having shot herself while seated upright.

Prosecutors previously claimed that Bamber arranged Cofell's apparent suicide after taking the lives of the children and their parents.

Carney-Gannon's conclusions will be sent to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which evaluates whether cases should be forwarded to the Court of Appeal.

To date, the commission has examined four out of ten points in Bamber's most recent submission and dismissed them, stating they failed to satisfy the criteria for referral.

A representative from the Jeremy Bamber Innocence Campaign claims the new report backs Bamber's assertion that he did not commit the murders of his family.

There are people in jail, not, I always say this, 99% of people in jail are in jail for the right reason, but there are a small number of people who are not, who should not be in jail.

If we'd executed them, and, and we take the cases where they're the most extreme, Lucy Letby, Jeremy Bamber, and you know, there's a couple of others.

Yeah.

If we ex-
