The definitive account of the White House Farm murders – now a significant TV series

On 7 August 1985, Nevill and June Bamber, their daughter Sheila and her two young sons Nicholas and Daniel were discovered shot to death at White Home Plantation in Essex. The murder weapon was entirely on Sheila’s body, a bible lay at her aspect. All the windows and doors from the farmhouse were secure, as well as the Bambers’ child, 24-year-old Jeremy, experienced alerted police after apparently finding a phone call from his father, who about The Murders at White House Farm: Jeremy Bamber and the killing of his family. The definitive analysis. informed him Sheila had ‘eliminated berserk’ with the gun. It seemed an easy case of murder-suicide, but a dramatic change of events was to disprove the police’s theory. In October 1986, Jeremy Bamber was convicted of killing his entire family members in order to inherit his parents’ significant estates. He has always preserved his innocence.

Drawing on interviews and correspondence with a lot of those closely linked to the occasions – including Jeremy Bamber – and an abundance of previously unpublished documentation, Carol Ann Lee provides amazing clarity to a complex and emotive case. She represents the years of rising stress in the family that culminated in the murders, and provides clear insight in to the background of every specific and their human relationships within the family unit.

Scrupulously fair in its analysis, The Murders at White House Farm is an absorbing portrait of a family, a period and a place, and a gripping account of one of Britain’s most notorious crimes.
