Philpott Fire: Accused 'Bragged Of Bail'

By Lisa Dowd, Midlands Correspondent

A man accused of killing six children in a Derby house fire bragged about "being on bail for six counts of murder", a court hears.

Melissa John, the girlfriend of Paul Mosley's nephew, told Nottingham Crown Court that she saw the 45-year-old after he was released on police bail.

Ms John told the jury: "He was bragging... about being on bail for six counts of murder."

She claimed Mosley said he would wait for the charges to be dropped "then he'd go public and tell everyone".

Mosley and the parents of the six victims, Mick and Mairead Philpott, are on trial for killing the children. They each deny six counts of manslaughter.

Jade Philpott, 10, and brothers John, nine, Jack, eight, Jessie, six and Jayden, five, all died in the fire.

Their brother Duwayne, 13, died in hospital three days after the blaze on Victory Road in Allenton, Derby, in May last year.

Ms John said Mosley later asked her: "What if I was to tell you we actually rehearsed this six weeks ago?"

She said Mosley went on to claim that Mick and Mairead Philpott were to be inside the house when the fire was started, that he was to "kick the back door in" and then the couple were to run out front and scream for help.

But she claimed he said it "didn't go to plan".

Ms John said Mosley told her Mick had wanted a bigger house, and Mairead had written a suicide note saying "next time she'll take her children with her".

Mairead was to take the blame for the fire, Ms John told the court.

The prosecution allege that the trio started the fire to "frame" Mick Philpott's ex-mistress and regain access to their children.

Their trial continues.
