Blood Relations by Roger Wilkes

On 8 August 1985 the press reported the killing of June and Nevill Bamber, a middle-age farming couple, and their twin grandsons by their adopted daughter Sheila, who had apparently destroyed her family in an act of schizophrenic madness and shortly afterwards committed suicide. One year later the only survivor, the Bambers adopted son and heir, Jeremy, was convicted of the crime and sentenced to life imprisonment, with a recommendation that he should remain in prison for at least 25 years. Leave to appeal was refused and Jeremy Bamber became a star turn in the demonology of the tabloid press. Seven years into his time, Bamber remains a tireless proselytiser for his innocence and insists that the killer was his sister Sheila, who had a long history of mental illness. Now the Justice For All organisation has taken up his cause. For two years Roger Wilkes has been researching this complex and disturbing case. He solved (with criminologist Jonathan Goodman) the longtime puzzle of the 1930s Liverpool cause celebre, the Wallace case, with his book Wallace: The Final Verdict, naming the killer more than fifty years after the events took place.
