One thing which I remember is it would have been very difficult for her to commit suicide with a long barrelled hunting rifle. Looking at the dates I would have only been about 11-12 when I read about it a couple of years afterwards so I may well be wrong about that, but I reckon he's guilty.

My aunt runs that website I think, I have no idea how she and Bamber know each other, but she thinks he is innocent and is a driving force in the campaign. I know she visits him in prison quite often too =/
I've never taken too much interest in the whole case though really, so can't actually provide any useful info

If you can source it there was a Tonight WithTrevor McDonald documentary on the other week called Bamber, The New Evidence which is worth a watch.

I remember the case well as it was relatively local.
The new evidence is very strong & shows that the wounds were made with a gun Without a silencer. This one fact was what swayed the jury years ago when they were told the wounds were made with a rifle With a silencer.
Yanky specialists have been brought in & they are 100% sure the wounds were made Without a silencer.
The documentary shown recently was excellent & it was no surprise at all that the Dumped X girlfriend refused to appear on it.

The reason a silencer was assumed in the first place was because the family were not woken by the shots. A .22 fired indoors is VERY loud, but only one of the victims (apart from the daughter Sheila) was out of bed when they were shot. In fact, at the original trial no-one disputed that the silencer was used for everyone except Sheila, hence the reason why Sheila's DNA inside the silencer was so important. No-one included Jeremy Bamber, who now changes his story. As for the evidence it must have been Sheila, the evidence consisted of the fact that she was mad and therefore It Stands To Reason. I'll stay on the "he did it" side thanks. There's certainly no way that Sheila did: as I said, she was so drugged that she had to helped to do almost everything, and was incapable of any plan more complicated than making a cup of tea. And she was a terrible shot, who only had fired the weapon once, hated it, and was scared of it. The killer was an expert.

Certainly an interesting case no matter where the blame lies.

I assume like most of the (new) evidence this is based on a very old set of photographs? And that's it? Out of interest, as I've not bothered to read up, who the Rent-an-Experts?

The renters were the usual Yanky type "specialists", Can't remember who but the documentary should be around to watch.
They did show the pics & then compared them with some demos they did with a .22

Not read a lot on the case, but I've used a .22 rimfire rifle before.
With subsonic ammo, and a silencer, its barely more audible than a quiet air rifle, and certainly wouldn't wake people up if used with closed doors in place between rooms.
Also, it seems completely implausible that his sister did it, given how incapable of normal tasks she seems to have been.

he's appealed 3 times and failed 3 times. Why is he allowed to continuously appeal and cost the taxpayer lawyers fees?
Soldato
IF he's innocent, and note the if, then surely he should keep appealing?!?

The thing that puzzles me with the case, is that in the original police photographs, there is no scratch on the fireplace (the leading photographic expert in the country says so amongst others). Then the two people who stand to inherit if Bamber goes to prison, find a silencer some time later, new photos are taken with scratches on the fireplace and the silencer has an apparent link to this.

After serving 27 years inside & facing the rest of his life in jail I would have thought his Appeals are all that keep him going.
I personally am still not sure either way but don't appreciate them ignoring the "new" evidence, I'd have much preferred it if they had reexamined it using there own experts & then come to a decision.

It was you all along!
