Mick Philpott's Derby Home To Be Demolished

Derby City Council plans to demolish the home of Mick and Mairead Philpott, where six children were killed in a fire started by the couple.

Mick Philpott, 56, was jailed for life on Wednesday after being convicted of manslaughter over the deaths of the children in the blaze last May.

His wife Mairead, 32, and friend Paul Mosley received 17-year sentences.

The council is attempting to take legal possession of the three-bedroomed semi-detached house, as well as of the adjoining one.

The charred shelll of the Victory Road house has been empty since the fire

"Who would want to live in a house where six children have died and why would you want to live next door to a house where six children have died?" council leader Paul Bayliss said.

The council wants residents in the area to decide what to do with the property, and an online petition has called for a memorial garden to be built on the site.

However, after speaking to neighbours, Sky's Frazer Maude said many feel such a memorial would not be helpful.

"They've told me they just want to move on, and they fear a memorial garden could become a tourist attraction."

The case shocked Britain

The Philpotts hatched a plan to start the fire at their home in order to frame Lisa Willis, Philpott's former girlfriend who had left the house taking their children with her.

They planned that Philpott should break in by the back door and rescue the children.

In the early hours of May 11, they poured petrol in the hallway of the property to start the blaze.

But the plan went wrong as fire ripped through the council house in Victoria Road.

At one point 11 children lived in the house

Mick Philpott, described as the "driving force" behind the plan, has been ordered to serve a minimum of 15 years in prison.

The Philpotts and Mosley were found guilty of six counts of manslaughter, one for each of the victims: Jade Philpott, 10, John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, Jayden, five, and Duwayne, 13.
