Family killer Bamber launches new appeal
Jeremy Bamber, who was jailed for killing five members of his family in Essex, and two other murderers have continued their court battle against "whole-life" jail terms, which give prisoners no chance of release.
It's the latest in a series of appeals by Bamber who was convicted of killing his adoptive parents, sister and her two young children in 1985.
Lawyers urged judges in Strasbourg to rule that UK law allowing the most dangerous offenders to be kept behind bars until they die breaches their human rights. Their verdict will be announced next year.

Jeremy Bamber, the man found guilty of killing five of his relatives in Essex will have an appeal against his sentence heard by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights.
Bamber, who killed his parents, sister and her two young children at their farmhouse in Tolleshunt D'Arcy near Colchester in 1985, had argued that whole-life tarriffs amounted to "inhuman or degrading treatment".
In January 2012, the European Court of Human Rights had thrown out that argument but that ruling is now being re-examined.
