Drawing upon police documents and photographs, legal documents, and the author's interviews and six years of correspondence with Jeremy Bamber, this book examines the case in great detail. In October 1986 Jeremy Bamber was convicted of the murders of five members of his family at their home in Essex, England. It was alleged that he had killed his relatives then staged the scene so it appeared his sister, Sheila Caffell, had committed the murders before turning the weapon, an Anschutz semi-automatic rifle, on herself. During sentencing the trial judge described Bamber as being warped, callous, and evil, almost beyond belief. Bamber, however, remains adamant he is the victim of a miscarriage of justice. For the first time all of the relevant information from both the defense and prosecution is explained and recently obtained new evidence is discussed. Some of the information contained in the book will feature in the defense case when Bamber next appeals against his conviction. It has not yet been made public.
