Father and Mother of 6 children killed in fire are arrested over Murder

[marriedtoagoodun]

Breaking news is that Mr and Mrs Philpott have been arrested for the murder of their six children. I cannot believe this has happened. I pray that a mistake has been made. RIP children.

I see. If that was the plan it was bloody stupid. Still I have known people to
do stupid things. I remember a local news story of a family who started a fire for the insurance money. They didn't know that you must have an insurance policy in place in order to receive a payout.

...but then the charge wouldn't be 'murder'

Meth - MN at its best there Must have your 'Judgey Pants' hoisted right up your

If someone were to plan to wreck their house in order to be re-homed in a larger property, might it not be a less risky plan to orchestrate a flood, rather than a fire?

Just sayin'...

On local news they said he blew a kiss and mouthed 'I love you' to someone in the gallery. Mistress maybe?

clam and when everyone was out.....

Percy because it's more likely. For 14 they would need 2 vacant properties knocked through.... For 8 then a 5 bed would be sufficient

And it's re-housed everyone, not re-homed. Animals get re homed.

Residency you mean? Well cafcass would likely have ruled no, due to the overcrowding issue. Was it supposed to be the first hearing or a subsequent one?

The first, I think, not sure though. But people don't always think things through, do they.

Olympia you seem to have got this thread muddled with Pedants' Corner!

clam , olympia

It is odd that they were in Magistrates today and Crown court tomorrow however a quick nosey shows that they are applying for Bail tomorrow o_O

not sure if I'm alowed to link but its on a public website called Courtserve (i like to keep up with the local riffraff!!)
