Britain's most notorious murderer Jeremy Bamber may finally have an alibi for one of the most infamous crimes in British history. The new evidence, uncovered by New Yorker journalist Heidi Blake, centers around a 999 call that was allegedly received at Whitehouse Farm on the night of August 7, 1985, when five people were brutally murdered.
According to the police officer who had been manning the lines from Essex police HQ at the time, PC Nick Milbank, he heard what might have been muffled speech over the phone. He then went on to say that the voice could be a 'voice or a radio' and noises that could have been 'a door opening and closing, or a chair being moved.' This would suggest that someone was indeed alive in the house at the time of the murders.
This revelation raises significant questions about the original investigation into the crime, which initially treated it as a murder-suicide. The police officer's account contradicts everything he had told Blake before, saying he never made a statement to Operation Stokenchurch in 2002 and that he did not remember making such a statement.
However, Essex police has produced a new statement from Milbank dated September 10th last year, which appears to contradict the version of events Milbank shared with the New Yorker. The most shocking revelation comes when we find out that Milbank has sadly passed away since the publication of his story in June this year.
The implications of all these recent revelations will undoubtedly lead the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) to reevaluate Jeremy Bamber's case once again. His conviction was widely criticized due to inconsistencies and irregularities throughout the investigation, and it remains possible that he could be finally cleared of all charges.
Jeremy Bamber believes that new evidence supports his claim that police fabricated a statement in Milbank's name in 2002, and therefore put him at risk by allowing Essex police to interview him. He has called for an independent investigator to speak with Milbank about what he told the New Yorker magazine, but was refused by the CCRC.
As it stands, Jeremy Bamber is now facing charges of perverting the course of justice in relation to the 2002 statement and now believes that Essex police should have had an audio record of the 999 call. "Where is the audio recording of that telephone call now?" he writes in a letter. This raises further questions about what actually happened on that fateful night and whether Milbank's version of events can be trusted.
The recent developments bring to light long-standing allegations of police corruption, intimidation, and cover-ups surrounding one of Britain's most infamous crimes.

this is getting so crazy! first off PC Nick Milbank dies like right after sharing his new story... what a weird connection? 
and then they're saying he contradicts everything he said before? it's like, what even is going on here? 
and can we talk about how suspicious this all sounds? like, why didn't the police have an audio recording of that 999 call? 
is it possible that Milbank just made up some wild stuff to stir up drama? 
idk what's real and what's not at this point.
.
. There's gotta be more to this story than meets the eye.
PC Milbank's sudden change of heart is also super suspicious & I'm not buying it at all 
this is crazy! a 999 call that could've saved lives? it's wild that PC Nick Milbank changed his story like 3 times already 
what if he really didn't hear anything? or what if there was no audio recording at all? 
the police are going to have to dig deeper into this now 
and i'm low-key excited for Jeremy Bamber's case to be reopened again 
maybe justice will finally be served 
his case was always super shady anyway... what if PC Milbank was just trying to cover something up?
