A week-long visit to White House Farm had been arranged for August 1985 at the Bambers' request; the plan was that the boys would visit their grandparents with Sheila before going on holiday to Norway with their father. Mugford told police that Jeremy had telephoned her at 9:50pm on 6 August to say he had been thinking about the crime all day, was "pissed off", and that it was "tonight or never". The defence contended that the telephone off the hook was entirely consistent with Nevill having phoned the Appellant. Another one of Baker’s friends received a cryptic text message around the same time, Baker’s brother told the Idaho Statesman.

Sutherst was asked by the CCRC to examine a red spot on the carpet visible in photographs underneath the scratches on the mantelpiece. Crime-scene photographs not made available to the original defence show Sheila's right arm and hand in slightly different positions in relation to the gun, which is lying across her body. On 20 March 1989 the judges refused Jeremy leave to appeal, ruling that there was nothing unsafe or unsatisfactory about the verdicts.

They found five bodies with multiple gunshot wounds, Nevill downstairs in the kitchen and the rest upstairs.He further claimed he had occasionally gained entry to the farmhouse through a downstairs window and had used a knife to move the catches from the outside. One of the crime-scene photographs showed that someone had carved "I hate this place" into the cupboard doors of the bedroom in which the twins were sleeping. Twenty-five shots were fired during the killing, so if the rifle was fully loaded to begin with, it would have been reloaded at least twice.
