Killer Bamber to spend life in jail

Jeremy Bamber, serving life for killing five members of his family in 1985, must never be released from prison, a judge has decided.

"These murders were exceptionally serious," said Mr Justice Tugendhat after reviewing Bamber's whole-life tariff.

In a written decision to be communicated to Bamber, who had asked for a specific minimum term to be set to give him some hope of parole, the judge said: "In my judgment, you ought to spend the whole of the rest of your life in prison, and I so order."
