Colin Caffell has revealed his brother-in-law Jeremy Bamber made a sick joke about his twin sons just weeks after he murdered them.
In 1985, Colin's six-year-old sons were killed alongside his ex-wife Sheila and her mother and father Neville and June Bamber at White House Farm in the village of Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Essex.
28-year-old Sheila, who had suffered from mental health issues and schizophrenia, had initially been believed by the police to have killed her family, including her six-year-old twins Daniel and Alex and adoptive parents, before turning the gun on herself.
However her brother's suspicious behaviour later alerted cops and he was later implicated in the murder by his girlfriend, who said that he had been plotting to kill his family for 18 months.
Jeremy Bamber’s chilling conversation with his girlfriend that convinced her he was guilty
Appearing on This Morning today, Colin opened up about how he had initially welcomed him into his home and offered him "brotherly love".
However he quickly realised that Jeremy wasn't grieving.
He told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: "I think when we started seeing some of the odd behaviour at my flat, because I welcomed Jeremy to my flat and supported him. Gave him all of the brotherly love that I could.
"But then he started to show elements of not really grieving and he was caught unawares with Julie, for example."
Speaking about a particularly disturbing example, Colin said: "He came running up the stairs at my flat with his hair all soaked and pulled in spikes, he'd just been in the bath.
"He was copying the photograph and Daniel and Nicholas in the bath and he came running up the stairs giggling and ran straight into my mother.
"And then he [stopped and] started putting on the whole performance."
However Colin revealed that it was mainly after Neville and June's funeral that he started to clock onto Jeremy's bizarre behaviour.
He said: "We were in the car going to the crematorium and he started larking around with Julie in the front of the car saying what he'd like to be doing to her in the afternoon.
"It was sick, it was really sick. I thought, 'There's something weird going on here.'"
He was arrested, charged and the following year convicted of the five murders.
Bamber is one of only a handful of people in the UK to be sentenced to whole of life sentences.
