The White House Farm killer Jeremy Bamber has made a twisted claim about his murdered family.

The then 24-year-old murdered his adoptive parents, his adoptive sister and her six-year-old twins at the farmhouse in the village of Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Essex, on August 7, 1985.

Nevill and June Bamber, both 61, Sheila Caffell, 28, and little Daniel and Nicholas were all shot, for which Bamber, now 64, is currently serving a life sentence.

But he has always maintained his innocence, saying it was Ms Caffell, a paranoid schizophrenic, who carried out the murders with one of her father's guns, before shooting herself.

Now, almost exactly 40 years on, Bamber has made a bombshell claim about the events of that horrifying day, the Mirror reports.
