Convicted family murderer Jeremy Bamber has ‘new phone call evidence’ that could free him after 33 years in jail

NEW evidence has allegedly come to light that could see mass killer Jeremy Bamber freed after 33 years behind bars.

Bamber, 58, convicted of the 1985 White House Farm murders, claims to have unearthed evidence that proves he is innocent.

He claims the evidence shows he made a phone call to police from his home at 3.36am on the night of the murder - just 10 minutes after he is thought to have to have called cops from the crime scene 3.5 miles away.

His legal team say this proves he was not there at the time of the murder, reports the

Bamber was sentenced to five life sentences, with a minimum of 25 years for the massacre of his adoptive family, parents Nevill and June, model sister Sheila "Bambi" Caffell, and her six-year-old twin sons Daniel and Nicholas.

The family were slaughtered at their home, White House Farm in Tolleshunt D’Arcy, Essex.

UNEARTHED 'NEW EVIDENCE'

According to the Mirror, Bamber has found a phone log detailing a call which he says proves he couldn't have killed his family.

The note, timed at "approximately 3.37am" said: "We received a telephone call at the P.Stn (Police Station, Witham).

"The officer (PC West) at CD Control (Chelmsford) was on the phone and told us that he was relating information to us and still had the informant (Jeremy Bamber) on the other telephone.”

According to the 58-year-old's legal team the new note could form the basis of an appeal which could see his release.

They say it supports the theory that it was his sister, Shiela Caffel who carried out the murder.

Before a confession from Bamber's then girlfriend that she had heard him planning the murder, it was widely theorised that Sheila - who suffered with schizophrenia - had committed the murders.

Cops initially believed Shelia had killed the four others before turning the rifle on herself - but Bamber's girlfriend later told them that he'd confessed to the killings.

'GONE CRAZY' WITH A GUN

Bamber told cops he received a frantic phone-call that night from his father proclaiming Sheila had "gone crazy" with a gun.

But a new note highlighting a second 3.37am phone call has been discovered from an interview with a PC Myall, of Essex Police, during the Dickinson Inquiry into the force’s handling of the case.

Bamber found the note amongst thousands of police documents released to him in 2011, used to campaign his self-professed innocence from behind bars.

The trial judge had told the jury to disregard Bamber’s claims that he had called police from his home at 3.36am.

Having been jailed without the possibility of parole Bamber will die in jail.

His new appeal is one of many highly publicised attempts to overturn his conviction.
