The strange tale of prisoner Charles Bronson and the man who spent years pretending to be his son

Bamby has repeatedly hit the headlines since initially alleging he'd done a DNA test after being contacted by Bronson. He said the now 70-year-old convict had messaged him after seeing his name mentioned in a TV documentary and had sent him clippings from his moustache in order to find out if they were linked by blood.
