Philpott Killers' Blaze House To Be Bulldozed

Work to demolish the house where six children perished in a petrol-fuelled blaze set by their parents Mick and Mairead Philpott will begin today.

The Philpotts were jailed in April, along with friend Paul Mosley, after being convicted of killing the couple's six children by setting fire to the three-bedroom semi-detached house in Allenton, Derby.

Jade Philpott, 10, and her brothers John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five, died in the blaze in May 2011 at 18 Victory Road. Duwayne, 13, died days later in hospital.

The demolition work will see 18 Victory Road and neighbouring property number 20 razed to the ground.

Workmen will begin to prepare the site today by erecting scaffolding, fencing and netting to the front, rear and sides of the properties.

Derby City Council said the process of demolition is likely to take up to three weeks; one week to prepare the site and a further two weeks to take down both properties, beginning with the outbuildings and roofing structures.

New social housing is expected to be built on the site in due course.

Derby Demolition Ltd, John L Morgan & Sons, Maxplant Ltd and Ward Recycling have each agreed to donate their fee for the demolition work to Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre in Skegness, which provides disadvantaged local children with holidays in the town.

Mr Baggy Shanker, cabinet member for housing and chairman of the Neighbourhood Board in Sinfin, said: "I think we all welcome the demolition of these properties.

"Whilst the tragic deaths of the six Philpott children will never be forgotten, local people continue to move on and this is symbolic of the end of a very difficult time for the community."

Mick Philpott was jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years after being convicted of six counts of manslaughter following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court earlier this year.

The trial heard that Philpott used petrol to set fire to his home in a bid to frame his mistress during a child custody battle.

His wife Mairead and Mosley were told they would each serve half of a 17-year sentence for their part in the plan to set fire to the property.
