CONVICTED killer Jeremy Bamber has vowed to fight on to prove his innocence after his latest bid for an appeal was rejected.
Bamber was jailed for life in 1986 for the murders of his parents June and Nevill Bamber, both 62, his sister Sheila Caffell, 27, and her twin sons, Nicholas and Daniel, who were six, at White House Farm in Tolleshunt D’Arcy.
He was accused of wiping out his family in order to inherit £436,000 and more than 300 acres of farmland.
Bamber has continually denied he was responsible for the crime, claiming it was Sheila who killed the family before turning the gun on herself.
He has been allowed two appeals against his conviction at the High Court in 1989 and 2001 but both were rejected.
Now the Criminal Cases Review Commission has rejected his latest bid to have his conviction overturned.
The body, set up to investigate possible miscarriages of justice, has made a provisional decision not to refer his murder convictions to the Court of Appeal.
But Bamber said he will fight on and is preparing to challenge the decision.
