They set up a fire in their house to frame Micks ex lover and to get a bigger home for their 17 kids. It went wrong and 6 of those kids died.
A small transcript from the trial.
You were in this together weren't you," he said. Philpott tearfully replied he wasn't: "I swear on my children's resting place." Mr Latham's response:
"Don't descend to that. Don't demean yourself."
Sickening just sickening killing 6 of your own kids and then swearing on their final resting place.
RIP little children and my thoughts go out to the family and surviving kids.

This is right up there on my list of the most awful things that have happened in the 39 years I've been alive. Scum like this should be neutered for
the sake of the gene pool. I can only hope and pray that they get what they deserve while they're in jail.
