Branners Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 When I saw the press conference I knew something wasnt right with the father, I turned to my wife and said the chap probably started the fire to get a better house. I hoped it wasnt true and that I'm just a cynical old git, but those press conferences always seem to show up when something is wrong.

Abz Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Apprantly this chap wanted a bigger house for his wife, girlfriend & 14 children! He was on Jeremy Kyle too... His now paying the price for greed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard on the radio about the conference, and I wanted to see it, just to look at him (even though I'm not body language expert) Dreadful pair of individuals.

j_jza80 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wether you're religious or not, I'm sure we can all agree that theres a very nasty place for people like them when they pass on. You think you've seen it all and then someone pushes the boundaries of how disgusting people can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 You took the words right out of my mind mate, I remembered seeing him and thinking he looked guilty as hell too!When I saw the press conference I knew something wasnt right with the father, I turned to my wife and said the chap probably started the fire to get a better house.

Havard Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I am still not getting the motive. If I was a dole scrounging POS and was greedy enough to have the idea of setting fire to my house. I wouldn't set fire to it with my kids in it..!! Unless this guy was absolutely brain dead and wanted to be a hero I can't see anyone being that daft. One things is for sure, it will now be better for the benfits system if the remaining kids are put into car and the parents are sent to prison for the rest of their lives. Either way, it's costing the taxpayer. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think perhaps he wanted to fire damage the house, get a bigger house and new stuff on the insurance and it all got out of hand. Making wild assumptions here, perhaps its not that at all, but sadly I can see how they would think it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Like JB said. If the guy had all his kids out of the house first, maybe he thought it would immediately look suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I just really hope they didn't do it. They've already arrested another set of people so I hope they're going to be let go without charge. That's what I hope, I fear that they did do it though, like others have said - the press conferences always show guilt if it's there, that's why the police hold them.

The Raven Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Stuff like this just shows how sick the world is. I mean come on. Why set fire to the house with your kids in it? With anyluck the guilt will be worse than any amount of jail time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Not in the case of the landlord of Joanne Yeates - who looked 'weird' but didn't kill her (but the papers vilified him). I imagine that guy found it very difficult to go about his daily business (maybe still does, who knows) because the papers decided to act as judge, jury and executioner. The papers print it, the readers (for their part) suck it up as gospel without questioning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
