Arsonist kills 6 children in Derby housefire.

I think any defence would struggle claiming it was manslaughter given the reckless nature of the offence (pouring petrol through the letterbox) and the knowledge that people were inside the property at the time.

 

I guess what I am saying is that the CPS do not seem to think it was an insurance scam gone wrong because that would be manslaughter.

Hmm, so on the basis of an arrest the 28 and 38 year old couple previously arrested must also be guilty?

 

Must be good business for grinders honing pitchforks today.

 

No BF don't twist my words, I was making the point that they did not seem convincing in their TV grief, how many times have we seen it & then it turns out to be the grief stricken people.

 

I mentioned NOTHING else & made no other parallels, you decided to do that old bean, could you do something like that then turn on the "crocodile tears".

 

Don't forget the 1st couple will have been picked up on evidence probably supplied or corroborated by the couple now arrested. It's called deflecting suspicion and no I don't own a pitchfork.

Officers said a 55-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman were arrested on Tuesday and were due to be questioned

 

How strange that the people arrested are the same age as the parents....

 

Others have also been arrested before regarding this case, and have been released without charge

On a serious note,it would be appreciated if we didn't speculate as to reasons for the crime. Threads merged.

In all fairness, the SF regulars blame both this couple and Madeleine McCann's parents for the death / disappearances of their respective children, so I don't think we can judge this couple guilty based solely on their economic background

As far as Im aware, no ones been charged with any offence, murder or manslaughter. In writing up the charge the CPS would consider the appropriate offence at that time.

Apologises if you think I twisted your words, but you seemed to be arriving at a conclusion based on their demeanour.

 

For what it's worth I didn't think they were particularly convincing either but it's dangerous territory to cover when speculating on their involvement because of it. There are many relatives, friends and associates of murder victims who've behaved 'oddly' during press conferences who were entirely blameless, but I guess we only remember those who are found guilty of involvement.

I mentioned NOTHING else & made no other parallels, you decided to do that old bean, could you do something like that then turn on the "crocodile tears".

 

I was really referring to this part of your post, which seems to suggest you believe they're guilty:

 

I wondered if they were involved, still I hope to god I'm wrong, but we'll see,

looks like I could be right though.

 

Don't forget the 1st couple will have been picked up on evidence probably supplied or corroborated by the couple now arrested. It's called deflecting suspicion

 

..and the parents could have been arrested for similarly spurious reasons, we just don't know until they're charged, tried and convicted, so it's pointless speculating really.

 

and no I don't own a pitchfork.

 

..sorry I meant a rake

The CPS don't think anything - the couple have only been arrested, not charged. Arrest "on suspicion of murder" is fairly normal practice when somebody died, and it doesn't necessarily mean that a murder charge is the likely outcome.
