Overview

A meticulously researched and ground-breaking new look at the White House Farm Murders of 1986. In October 1986, 24 year-old Jeremy Bamber was convicted of murdering his parents, sister and six year-old twin nephews at White House Farm in Essex. The prosecution argued that he had done so to secure a generous inheritance, and that immediately after the brutal killings, he had placed the gun on his sister's body to convince police that it was a murder-suicide. Ordered to serve a minimum of 25 years in prison, in 1994 Bamber's sentence was increased to whole life. He has always maintained his innocence and in the last couple of years a huge amount of material has come to light -- much of it apparently deliberately suppressed at the time of the trial -- bringing growing support for Bamber, both by forensic experts, in the press, and by the public. Today, at least two MPs are fighting his cause, documentaries question the validity of his conviction, and Bamber's internet profile is so compelling and widespread that it would put a public relations company to shame. Is Jeremy Bamber at the centre of one of the worst miscarriages of justice of our time or is he a cold, calculating killer who continues to exert control from behind bars? In Blood Guilt, bestselling true-crime author Carol Ann Lee has produced the definitive account of one of the most notorious crimes of our time.
