Mick and Mairead Philpott Guilty of Manslaughter in Deaths of Children

Also guilty was friend Paul Mosley. But the Philpotts were despicable welfare dependency cases.

At London's Daily Mail, "Vile product of Welfare UK: Man who bred 17 babies by five women to milk benefits system is guilty of killing six of them."

* "Michael Philpott is a perfect parable for our age, writes A.N. WILSON: His story shows the pervasiveness of evil born out of welfare dependency."

* "Group sex on a snooker table, dogging and a girlfriend who shared his marital home: The sordid sex life of 'manipulative' Mick Philpott and his wife Mairead."

And see Telegraph UK, "Lies behind death fire couple's mask of grief," and "Derby fire: Sex-obsessed Philpott lived tawdry lifestyle."
