S6 Ep. 6 - The White House Farm Murders

This week's episode is all about the case of the murders of the Bamber family at their home, White House Farm. It was the 1980's the time of the hedonistic Yuppy, where wealth was flashed and 'greed was good'. The adoptive son of the respectable Neville and June Bamber, Jeremy, was surely the quintessential city boy, rich, good looking, popular and charismatic. His sister, Sheila was a beautiful model, and mother of twin boys and was also part of the London party scene. Life appeared good for the Bamber family, at least on the surface, however underneath it all there lied mental illness, conflict and jealousy.One fateful August evening Jeremy received a frantic phone call from his father, begging for help as Sheila had gone mad with a shotgun at the farmhouse. When the police finally made their way inside it was a bloodbath, every single member of the family had been shot dead, including Sheila's twin sons and then it appeared that in a final act of desperation, Sheila had turned the gun on herself. The police quickly came to the conclusion of a murder - suicide, the tragic result of her psychological difficulties.Not long after the funeral, suspicions surrounding Jeremy grew until eventually he would be charged and convicted of the murders at the farmhouse. He remains in jail until this day and still protests his innocence, claiming to be a victim of injustice.Caz and Loz investigate this most complex case and ask, what do you think happened at White House Farm?Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Credit to:The fab documentary The Bambers: Murder at the FarmContact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.
