Six British children die in a house fire, parents have been arrested

[Scairp]

Has anyone been following this case? My husband happens to be British and my in-laws live there so I keep up as needed, but I'm having trouble with this one. The British press is pretty much prohibited from printing anything out of context and can only print or say what the police have said about the case publicly or what occurred in court. Because of that I really have no clue as to why the parents would pour gasoline downstairs whilst the children were sleeping upstairs. They get out without a scratch and all the children are dead. Thoughts, theories? FYI, the father is a scumbag, husband's words, and after reading up on him I'd have to agree.
