"JEREMY BAMBER, serving a life sentence for murdering five members of his family, has taken his controversial website offline.
The move follows legal advice, pending a review of his case by the Court of Appeal. Bamber, 40, set up the site a fortnight ago to proclaim his innocence in the 1985 shooting of his adoptive parents Nevill and June Bamber, both 61, his sister Sheila Cafell, 27, and her six-year-old twins Nicholas and Daniel.
The 34-page website -
www.jeremybamber.com - contained criticism of the police and an audio message protesting his innocence. In a message last week, Bamber said he was "thrilled to bits" that the Criminal Cases Review Commission had referred his case to the Court of Appeal because of new DNA evidence.
Yesterday visitors to the site, condemned as "appalling" by the Victims of Crime Trust, were told that it had been temporarily taken offline. John Whittingdale, the Conservative MP for Maldon and East Chelmsford, said: "I am glad it has come down. I always thought it was disgraceful."Bamber's cousin David Boutflour, 53, said there were several lies on the site. "I am delighted it has gone and I hope it does not come back," he said.
