all three suspects have been found guilty of the fire that killed the Philpott children. There's a Panorama special on BBC 1 right now.

When I saw the news tonight I was shocked at the plan they had hatched between them. I really don't know how they will live with themselves after killing their children.
That's the harrowing thing about it all EC (for me) He doesnt seem like he gives a crap
On the local news there was a couple who were their friends, they told of how so travelllers had given the Philpotts money towards the funerals and how he had speant it on trainers and presents for her etc......twisted *expletive*

I was reading how he didn't even try to get in and save them

They wanted it to catch fire properly so he could be the frikkin hero who saves his kids..... the dumb *think of the worst swear word* never took into account the fumes... the burning varnish on all the paneling up the stairs.... or the toxic fumes from the polystyrene ceiling tiles.... the fact all the bedroom doors were left open.... One saving grace is the poor sleeping kids probably never even knew what was going on
It's something as a parent you just can't get your head around? Why?
If you were desperate fore insurance money etc, you might hatch a plan, but wouldn't you make sure your children were not in the house?
This pair are a disgrace.

He did it to try to frame his ex mistress apparently? He's a complete psychopath - he was jailed for attempted murder in 1978 for stabbing his sleeping ex girlfriend 13 times for dumping him.
Kaffy just c&p'ing a post made in another thread

I just can't even think why anyone let alone a parent would do something like this 
didn't know any of the last 2 posts. I would love it if he rotted the rest of his life in jail. But he won't he'll get 30 and be out in 15. ******************* massive swearing then
There you go - the police 'knew' him anyway. So what kind of thicko thinks they're going to get away with such a thing (nevermind being an evil bastard too)..?
There was a great still of him pretending to weep at a press conference; the face of the officer watching him said it all.

One can only hope.
I was really hoping this topic wouldn't come up for a while because I've been so angry about these lowlifes. But as it has, this was the most chilling article about the people you could choose to read. He is the worst sort of man that could ever exist.

Nope. Read the link I posted above Jen. You could probably find it differently than me but I'm hoping, in a weird way, that the judge gives her a lesser sentence than that sociopath husband as a result.

Hill, who was 17 at the time, was in bed when he attacked her, knifing her more than a dozen times, before turning on her mother, Shirley, a nurse.
Philpott was convicted of the attempted murder of Hill and of grievous bodily harm in relation to her mother at Nottingham crown court in December 1978.
How the hell did he only get 7 years?

I know. Its incredible, isn't it? No wonder he thought he could get away with his crackpot scam.
I know this is controversial but ...................she doesn't look all there to me TBH.
Pain. Long, lingering, angonising pain. That's what I hope happens to that odious creep.

I don't think it is at all Sooz. She was a victim of his abuse because she was young and extremely vulnerable. That was clearly his MO.
Unbelievable ...........................utter scumbags
I hope they burn in hell.

Don't be sorry Xochi, after reading that i have changed my opinion of her totally... 19 when she met him and under his control ever since
Still questionable media police cahoots.
What bothers me is that they'll put more effort into rehab'ing him than they will those downtrodden, feeble women.

unfortunately not a hope in hell - the system has gone soft and they are well and truly protected these days
look at Ian Huntley - 11 years on and still alive and kicking albeit trying to take his own life - still shows no sign of remorse for what he did and is even privvy to watching Man U games despite knowing that was the shirts Holly and Jessica were wearing when he killed them
I cant find the right words to describe what I think about Huntley and now Philpott - Prison is certainly too good a place for them
Aye.. and they can big themselves up Jen.
Doesn't sit easy with me.
