Question Author
I felt at the time they appeared on TV interview that it was all very false. The police aren't stupid, they have specialised officers that monitor peoples reactions in the way they behave.
|
|
No one knows anything for sure the police are following that line at the moment nothing may come of it .. on that basis it is a little unfair to speculate...
|
|
Steady, they are arrested on suspicion, like many parents are, especially if Pold are short of other suspects, so lets wait and see before going off the deepend
|
|
"I suppose it wasn't meant to be anything other than an accident which went terribly wrong"
not with you on that, if its an accident then its an accident.
|
|
If they are guilty then I doubt very much that they meant any harm to come to their children. It would be more likely that they thought it was a way to get the authorities to re-home them in a bigger property.
|
|
The fire was started by petrol being poured through the letterbox and set alight.
You don't do that with children sleeping in the house just to get a bigger house, nor do you do it accidentally.
|
|
saw this item on news 24, im horrified at this news, but the parents have not been charged with any crime at the moment. were the parents in the house when the fire broke out ?
|
|
Appalling
though an arrest does not mean guilty.......
|
|
hc, these are not people with high IQs, I know a few people who have set fire to their local authority properties so they can be moved to bigger houses or better areas.
|
|
bear in mind that 2 other people were arrested when it first happened, then released. Being arrested doesn't mean they did it!
|
|
im sorry daffy, i have to disagree with you re the IQ, not with 6 children asleep surely ?
|
|
Blimey, do you really daffy? Did it work?
|
|
They may have not realised that the fire would spread so quickly (if they even did it).
Ladybirder, yes I do and yes it did, apart from one who actually got jailed for arson.
|
|
If they Did do it to be re-housed, wouldn't they have started it in the kitchen or at the back of the house. They must have realised they were starting the fire at the only real means of escape/rescue. They can't be that stupid, surely.
|
|
As has been said, its wise not to be presumptive, however nearly 3 weeks have passed, I don't think the police would make these arrests, knowing about the ensuing publicity, unless they felt they had good grounds too.
|
|
I am not qualified to make any comment, as I am not in possession of all the facts.
|
|
the charge is murder, not manslaughter.
|
|
Agree with Hopkirk on this.
|
|
If the parents are guilty they deserved Oscars.
