Exclusive: legal team submit new evidence challenging 1986 conviction for the notorious Essex murders
Jeremy Bamber, who has been imprisoned for more than 35 years for murdering five members of his family, has said he is “filled with hope” of being released after submitting a fresh legal challenge against his conviction.
Bamber’s lawyers have compiled a dossier running to thousands of pages based on new evidence that challenges his 1986 conviction for the notorious White House Farm murders in Essex. On Wednesday the submission was made to Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which will now decide if the case should be referred to the court of appeal for a second time.
