As would I.
"Simple animal" instinct in humans ensures we protect our children's lives over our own.
You might like to research whether all animals protect their young."Simple animal" instinct in humans ensures we protect our children's lives over our own.
As with whether all Humans, throughout our history, have also done such.
Unfortunately, including present times.
Luckily, we have evolved to think, rather than use only our animal instincts.
People have killed their or others' children, but they tend to have a strong reason to. This is what is missing here. I don't count "he's scum" as a decent argument.

Then there's the babies dumped/abandoned because they're inconvenient.

I agree. But in all likelihood, they will go down for manslaughter. It will be quite extraordinary if their sentences run consecutively. They will both be out in 20 odd years. It may be a difficult concept for the great unwashed to grasp but there is quite a difference between picking off one person after another intentionally rather than trying to burn your house down with the rather unfortunate consequences that occurred.
Bloody cheek - I'll have you know I got washed only this morning. TVR1 said:

I'm sorry but no, the man killed 7 people, children no less. If found guilty and he were to ever see the outside of a prison again it would be a massive faliure of the justice system. Tiggsy said:

How did it take so long ?
Used the Google News search function, all the newest stories first =/My point being that crimes are normally committed for really obvious reasons and following a financial trail will usually yield a culprit.
As the police usually say "thank god criminals are so stupid"

If guilty I can't understand their motive????
The suspected motive is a desire to be rehoused in a bigger house - if true, one has to assume that the intention was not to kill their children.srebbe64 said:

Okay - if that's the case (didn't want to kill kids) - why no apparent upset when in front of the cameras. And I don't think Hollywood will come looking for his acting services any time soon!
What's the normal way to behave when you've just lost six of your kids?People act differently, there is no right or wrong.

I'm not an expert, but I think you can be done for murder even if you didn't mean to kill the victim(s), if what you did was so reckless and dangerous that death was the likely outcome.
If you throw someone off a cliff deliberately, that's murder, even if you didn't mean to kill them. What the hell did you think the outcome would be? Setting fire to your house with petrol with kids asleep inside.....make your own minds up.
