It is very very tragic for all concerned .

If you start a house fire it is no defence to say you didn't intend anybody to be hurt, unless you are so clueless that you really don't know how quickly a fire takes hold and that occupants frequently have no more than minutes before they die from asphyxiation from the smoke.
I think they are as guilty as h**l and the hypocrisy of the "bleeding hearts" interviews they gave after the fire is nauseating in the extreme.

Well, they didn't intend their children to die in the fire - the other man also found guilty was supposed to break in and rescue them, but it all went tragically wrong.

They have been convicted of manslaughter - a lesser crime than murder. I am not sure why, but I have not listened to much of it as it is too harrowing. Presumably this will carry a lesser sentence.

gracemum I've been listening to it on the radio and feel just as you do.

I have had to turn the TV off as the report came in of the Guilty verdict passed on the couple who set fire to their house apparently in an attempt to "frame" his mistress, resulting in the death of their 6 children.
Words to describe how I feel about these monsters simply fail me. No sentence a British court can pass seems adequate and while not a vindictive person, I suspect they will get their just deserts once in prison
