A CONVICTED killer has described a series based on the mass murder of his family as “nonsense”.

ITV screened a six part drama earlier this year called White House Farm which retold the story of the murders of Sheila Caffell, her twin six-year-old sons, Daniel and Nicholas, and her parents, Nevill and June Bamber in 1985.

Jeremy Bamber was convicted in 1986 of killing his sister, nephews and parents but has consistently denied being responsible.

Now in a blog from high security prison in Wakefield, where he is serving a whole life-tariff, Bamber said he and his family were misrepresented.

He said: “I am so sorry people had to watch such nonsense because for some odd reason no-one was portrayed in a positive way from what I have been told.

“I did see the adverts and felt embarrassed by how badly Freddie Fox played me and that my friends and supporters were put in a position of having to defend me.

“I am not now or have ever been anything like the drama portrayed me.

“But it’s not me that matters, it is the fact mum and dad were so misrepresented by the way I was portrayed.”

He added: “ITV made out Sheila and I were jealous of each other because mum and dad had brought us up differently and treated us differently.”

Bamber said insinuations he was envious because Sheila had been bought a flat in Maida Vale in London were untrue.

“I know others looking in on our lives could feel envious and so assumed that Sheila and I might feel the same,” he said

“Sheila and I did not because mum and dad made sure that as we were growing up, we were grateful for our good fortune because they knew no-one likes people who are boastful.

“The ITV drama insulted my mum and dad without even thinking about it, simply by portraying me as they did.

“Shocking, not factual, untruthful misrepresentation.”

ITV said the drama was based on extensive research including a memoir by Colin Caffell - Daniel and Nicholas’ father - as well as a well researched book by journalist Carol Ann Lee.
