Fans have been riveted to White House Farm, which follows the aftermath of a horrific mass murder of five members of the same family. While it was initially suspected that 27-year-old Sheila was the culprit behind the deaths of her parents, June and Nevill, and her two children, six-year-old twins Daniel and Nicholas, in a murder-suicide, her brother Jeremy Bamber was eventually found guilty of the crimes.
Julie eventually moved to Canada
As well as plenty of evidence, and Jeremy's original story not quite adding up, his ex-girlfriend, Julie Mugford, was also a major reason why he was sentenced to life imprisonment, as she admitted to the police that Jeremy had talked about murdering his family on several occasions, even going into details on how he would cover up the crimes, and suggesting that he could pin it on his sister, who suffered from mental illness. In fact, her testimony was so important to the prosecution's case that the judge told the jury that they could find Jeremy guilty on just her statement. After Jeremy was sentenced to prison, Julie was paid £25,000 for an exclusive on the case with the News of the World. But just where is she now?
