Is Jeremy Bamber a scheming psychopath or a victim of a terrible miscarriage of justice?
That question will be explored in a Channel 4 documentary next week on Bamber, who was convicted of shooting dead five members of his family 17 years ago.
The Amazing Story Of Jeremy Bamber, to be screened on Tuesday at 10pm, features interviews with people who knew Bamber, both inside and outside of prison.
Bamber has constantly protested his innocence and took his fight to the Court of Appeal. The bid was rejected in December but he has vowed to fight on to clear his name.
He was found guilty, in 1986, of murdering his mother, June, father, Nevill, sister, Sheila Caffell and her twin six-year-old sons, Daniel and Nicholas.
They were all shot at White House Farm in Tolleshunt D'Arcy in August, 1985.
Bamber claims that his sister, who was mentally unstable, had killed her family before turning the gun on herself.
