Mick Philpott holds his heads in his hands as the sentences are read out at Nottingham Crown Court. He was jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years after being found guilty of killing six of his children in a house fire.
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.
