Re: How could someone do this with a family in the house?
no-one charged yet, all the media frenzy was about his lifestyle and the menage a trois. He had been on a few reality shows, and had tried to force the local council to provide him with a bigger house for his family. Anne Widdecombe did stay with them for a week a while ago when they were doing documentaries about living on benefits.

I read a quote once
There is no need to believe in a evil deity for mans own evil is wicked enough

Awful, and unbelievable that their own parents could have done this to those beautiful children

Holy shit! So would it be wrong to assume that a fire was started with the aim of being rehoused but it all went terribly wrong? Words fail.

OMG
i was reading one of those awful true crime books when this happened.... Where the mother had torched her own house to get her soon to be ex husbands attention and sympathy and killed two of her kids in the process...
The thought crossed my mind ... But I had shoved it to the back as too terrible to even think....
Bloody evil ****wits ... If they did do it...

If they torched the house in order to get a bigger house, and it went horrible wrong, I don't know how they will live with themselves.

If it is true, and they are charged, then they deserve everything they get, but everyone got their knickers in a twist when a couple were arrested a couple of days after the event, they were released without charge.
The police will often arrest people so that they can get the maximum time to question them, and they will be questioned separately, with, I'm sure, the police hoping that they give conflicting stories

Please do NOT prejudge the issue, the parents have been detained, but the police say they are a long way from finding out what really did happen, it may have been the parents, but they have not been charged, they have been arrested are being questioned.

This is such an awful story - I hope to God it wasn't them - it would take a special kind of stupid for a stunt to get re-homed to turn into a massive tragedy like this.
