HUMAN Rights campaigner Peter Tatchell has called for evidence relating to Essex's most notorious murder to be disclosed.
Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the arrest of Jeremy Bamber in connection with the White House Farm Murders.
Bamber, 54, was jailed for life for the murders of his parents June and Nevill Bamber, his sister, Sheila Caffell, and her twin sons Nicholas and Daniel, who were six, at the farm in Tolleshunt D'Arcy.
But Bamber has continued to declare his innocence and says information which should have been disclosed before his trial has still been held back.
He says repeated requests for the evidence to be released, including before his appeals against his conviction in 1988 and 2002, have also been refused.
Among the documents are the call logs on the morning of the killings and a file on Bamber's former girlfriend Julie Mugford, who gave evidence against him.
Bamber's supporters set up a petition asking Justice Minister Michael Gove for assistance in getting access to documents held under Public Interest Immunity.
So far, more than 800 people have signed the petition including Mr Tatchell.
A Thunderclap is also being orchestrated on social media calling on thousands more to sign the petition.
