Today’s true crime case begins with a 999 call in the early hours of 11th May 2012 to report that a fire had started in 18 Victory Road in the city of Derby. There were 6 children inside the house. The call was made by one of the people who lived there, Mairead Philpott. Her call was part of a plan concocted by Mairead, her husband Mick Philpott, the parents of the children inside, as well as a third man called Paul Mosely which involved deliberately setting fire to the house so that Philpot could heroically save the children. The reason for this plan? so that Philpot could punish his live in mistress Lisa Willis who had dared to escape his abuse by framing her for this crime, getting her sent to prison and robbing her of custody of her children, including 4 that he had fathered, not due to any love for the children but to hurt Lisa. The plan went wrong and fire quickly took hold at 18 Victory Road and all 6 children died. Mick Philpot was completely indifferent to the deaths of his children and couldn’t help showing this including with him flirting with female mortuary staff whilst standing feet away from the bodies of his slain children. This was who Mick Philpot was, a man with no remorse, conscience or guilt who had spent a lifetime abusing, manipulating and hurting others. In the aftermath of the fire he and Mairead appeared in front of the cameras at a press conference where he pretended to cry which, when you see it will make your skin crawl. By the end of this video, I think you will agree that Mick Philpot is one of the most evil men in the UK.
