BAMBER EXCLUSIVE: LIE TEST WILL PROVE I AM NO KILLER
EXCLUSIVE Family murderer's new plea
By Jon Clements
Jeremy Bamber is to take a lie detector test in prison in his latest attempt to prove his innocence.
Bamber, jailed for shooting five members of his family, won permission from the Home Office last month for the test. He will be examined by expert Jeremy Barrett at Full Sutton Prison, York.
His lawyer Giovanni Di Stefano said: "He has been asking since 1991 but the Home Secretary and the Prison Service refused. They only reconsidered under threat of a judicial review. It will be the first step towards finding out the truth."
Bamber, 44, is appealing for the third time against his convictions for shooting his parents Neville and Jane, sister Sheila Caffell and her six-year-old twins in Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Essex, in 1985.
Bamber, who stood to inherit £500,000 from his parents, was jailed for life. He has always claimed Sheila killed her sons and parents before turning the rifle on herself.
