The Criminal Cases Review Commission has refused to refer the case of Jeremy Bamber, who was convicted of murdering five members of his family in 1985, back to the court of appeal.
The CCRC, whose chair resigned in January and whose chief executive resigned this week after successive justice secretaries declared the miscarriage of justice review body unfit for purpose, has spent four years examining four of the 10 grounds that Bamber’s lawyers identified as undermining the safety of his conviction. It will continue to examine the other six.
