The White House Farm murders occurred on August 7, 1985, when Nevill and June Bamber, along with their daughter Sheila Caffell and her twin sons, were found shot to death in their family home in Essex, England. Initially, police believed that Sheila, who had a history of schizophrenia, had murdered her family before taking her own life. However, suspicion soon turned to her adopted brother, Jeremy Bamber, who stood to inherit the family estate. Evidence such as a silencer with traces of Sheila's blood and witness testimonies pointed to Jeremy as the orchestrator of the crime, allegedly motivated by greed. Jeremy Bamber was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, but the case remains controversial, with ongoing debates about potential police mishandling and conflicting evidence.
