Fucking disgrace! Should be locked up for life and made to serve life! To even think about doing that to another a human is bad enough, but your own 6 kids?!?
Ideally the death penalty should be reintroduced for crimes like this! Then again how fair is it that they should die for killing kids that hadnt even began to live their short lives!?! They'll hopefully get more of a punishment from other inmates when behind bars! And if i was a prison officer, id be turning a blind eye when other inmates set up on them!
I know thats not ethical, but neither is murdering 6 young children! And it was murder imo, not manslaughter. They knew exactly what the risks were when they lit that match / started the fire!
And its too little too late for neighbours to now be saying "he wasnt a good father" or "he wasnt right!". Tell that to those kids!
He got life. The other 2 got 17 years. He'll serve a minimum of 15 years but to be honest, with what'll happen to him in there he'll be lucky to get to 15 months.
He probably won't be safe on a sex offender wing and most likely kept segregated from everyone else, unless he wants to take his chances. With his case being so high profile, I can't see him being granted parole at 15 years and more than likely serving more than 20.
That's the only thing good about his sentence. Nonce's and kiddie killers get 'special' treatment inside and I hope his fellow inmates extend the same amout of hospitality to that vile scumbag Philpott.
