awful

Its so sad, the kids never asked to be born into the family

Hope it's just the police being over active but if its true then..............

Horrible!!! I also hope it turns out it wasn't them...poor kids

Saw this on Sky. So awful.

they have been charged with murder it said on the news

Just been discussing it with friends on facebook , reckon they wouldn't have brought charges in that situation unless they were 100 % sure , it's disgusting (if that's not too far light a word for it)

i dunno what to make of it all, i used to live close to him, my ex knows him to talk too and won't talk about it as she thinks he hasn't done nothing but then i haven't spoke to her since yesterday

Have they gave out any evidence that links them? i mean i cant believe they would set their own children on fire...i just can't...

Like I've said before when you look at the people involved do you really think they would bring charges without being sure ?? doesn't neccesarily mean there was intent to kill, it could have been an insurance scam gone wrong , an attempt to be rehomed to somewhere bigger , who knows but people of this calibre don't seem to be able to think about the "what if's"

They must have pretty good grounds to charge them, if they are wrong about it (the police) they couldn't charge them with it again.

So sad

Need capital punishment for this definitely, i don't want to pay to keep him and her alive.

Unfortunately we don't have a choice , but I know exactly where you are coming from, daresay though if it was a scam gone wrong then they should be suffering rigth now with their action and so ther b******s should be , I hope they don't get a winks sleep for the next 20 years because it goes round and round in their heads

from what the news said, it sounds like they had enough evidence and the cps said we will now charge them with murder.

Yuh! And in jail people really hate people who hurt kids (go figure) so they will be in for a tough time anyway! I suppose living hell is better than death in some cases. >

The only really sad thing about this is yes you are correct , the real criminals do not like child hurters and rapists etc, but this is why they have the special wings that us taxpayers have to fork out for to protect the scumbags

they are in court today

i bet they started the fire to get a bigger home but it went wrong
