From In the Dark: “Blood Relatives”

Об эпизоде

<p>The <i>New Yorker</i> contributing writer <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/heidi-blake">Heidi Blake</a> has been investigating a new story for the Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/in-the-dark">In the Dark</a>. This season is about one of the most notorious crimes in modern British history: the Whitehouse Farm murders, in which five members of a family were killed at a rural estate in England in the mid-nineteen-eighties. Jeremy Bamber—brother, uncle, and son to the victims—was convicted of the crimes. Decades later, Blake got a tip that led her to interview key figures in the case and scour hundreds of thousands of evidence files. What she found brings the official story of the case into question, and challenges the very foundations of the U.K.’s legal system. </p><p><i>This is Episode 1 of Blood Relatives.
