Mick Philpott, the 'evil' father who murdered six of his children by setting his own home on fire, whines about being in prison
Mick Philpott, the man who has been described as "evil" by many publications, is now in the news once more because he whined about being in jail for the murder of his six children. The 62-year-old man wrote a letter in prison in which he denied all the responsibility for the devastating house fire that killed his children. In the note that he wrote inside HMP Wakefield, the murderous father said that he "can't believe I'm still here". Philpott also claimed in the letter that he was left devastated by the loss of his six children and said that his "heart and soul have been completely ripped out". He added in the letter: "I'm completely innocent. My babies are my whole world, my life."
The convicted murderer blamed his neighbor, from when the incident happened in 2012, in spite of being convicted of all six counts of manslaughter for setting the family home ablaze just to get a bigger council house. The Daily Star Sunday reported that Philpott also said in the letter that he struggles with mental health problems.
