Jeremy Bamber’s legal team challenge ban on his talking to the media

Lawyer says restriction comes at ‘significant moment’ in appeal process for White House Farm murder conviction

The legal team of Jeremy Bamber, who has served 41 years in prison for murdering five members of his family, has challenged Wakefield prison’s decision to ban him from talking about his case to the media and long-term supporters.

His lawyers have issued a claim for judicial review against the secretary of state for justice and the governor of the category A high-security prison, arguing that it is violating his right to free speech and obstructing his access to justice.
