White House Farm is based on the true story of the rural village of Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Essex where Jeremy Bamber killed three generations of his family. According to a report by The Sun, Jeremy Bamber who was the adoptive son of the family claimed that he received a call from his father, Neville saying that Sheila, his sister had gone crazy with a gun. Jeremy Bamber claimed at that time that he was at his own place which was a few miles away. Police reached the conclusion that Sheila, who had schizophrenia, shot the entire family and then killed herself.

Who Is Jeremy Bamber?

The Sun also wrote that Jeremy Bamber was born in Kensington in 1961, to Juliet Dorothy Wheeler, a vicar's daughter who had an affair with army Sergeant Major Leslie Brian Marsham, a controller at Buckingham Palace. Later on, he was put up for adoption through the Church of England's Children's Society. He was then adopted by Nevil and June Bamber when he was six months old.

After school, Nevill paid for Jeremy to go to Australia and New Zealand, but while he was there he stole jewellery and watches. Some sources also said that he used to smuggle heroin overseas and he left New Zealand because he got scared as his close friend got involved in an armed robbery. Even, a few weeks before the murders, he robbed the family business at Osea Road Caravan Park.
