Mortuary manager Marie Smith has spoken about her surprise at Mick Philpott's 'light-hearted' behaviour when he came to the mortuary to see the bodies of his six children who had all died in a house fire.
Mick and Mairead Philpott have been found guilty of their manslaughter.
Ms Smith described Philpott as laughing and joking with police outside the building before he visited his children.
Mick Philpott stuck two fingers up in court as the Judge told him he was a "disturbingly dangerous man" and would be sent to jail for life.
Speaking exclusively to ITV News, Dawn Bestwick said jail wasn't good enough for MIck Philpott and that "as a coward" he "deserved to die".
The judge has delayed her sentencing to "reflect further" on the trial Mick and Mairead Philpott and friend Paul Mosley.
