Killer dad Mick Philpott didn't want to visit his son, 13, on his deathbed as the teenager battled injuries from the fire started by his father, which killed his five siblings.
Revealing the harrowing detail for the first time in Channel 5's 5 Mistakes That Caught A Killer, airing tonight at 10pm, retired Detective Superintendent Paul Callum, who helped lead the investigation said Philpott had to be convinced by support officers to visit dying son Duwayne.
After finally agreeing to go, he flirted with staff and his behaviour left detectives convinced the father-of-17 was responsible for his children's deaths.
Philpott was sentenced to life in prison and Mairead to 17 years after their children Jade, ten, John, nine, Jack, seven, Jesse , six and Jayden, five, died from smoke inhalation in the May 2012 fire at the family home in Osmaston, Derby.
The documentary lays bare the five mistakes committed by Mick, Mairead and their accomplice Paul Mosley, which included the couple's suspicious press conference days after the fire, and Mick's inappropriate behaviour at the hospital and mortuary.
The programme also looks at the couple's outrageous night out that saw Philpott sing Elvis songs at a local pub in the wake of his children's deaths, the conversations between Mick and Mairead recorded by police and the petrol found on his clothes.
'He didn't want to go across to Birmingham where Duwayne was effectively dying from his injuries,' Callum said.
Philpott was equally as inappropriate when he visited the Derby mortuary to formally identified his dead children.
Callum revealed: 'He chatted up the mortuary technicians.
'He made inappropriate comments about their breasts, about things he wanted to do with them sexually.
'He would then collapse into a pile and pretend he was upset. Then he’d sit up and say something inappropriate. He was a very strange character.
'At the mortuary we know that he called his children "little s***s", which in any context that children have died, I don’t know how that can be deemed as appropriate.'

No he fits the bill perfectly, a lot of what people think are simply feckless, violent fathers in council estates (or all classes actually) are psychopaths - there are many kinds and after all they do make up a far larger proportion of the population than most folk realise.
Everyone here will have met quite a few in their lives perhaps without having the slightest clue.

To call him an animal is indeed an great insult as they defend their young with every fibre of their being - often at the cost of their own lives.

That's not true John. Many animals kill or eat their young.

I was talking in general terms, of course wild animals are subject to stresses/disease we in our cosy civilised world can only dream off (and humans very soon turn feral when deprived of our comforts - watch the film The Road to see what would happen after a truly world changing disaster or epidemic).
The humble earwig is one of the world's best parents as a little fact you may not know.
Anyway that fat bastard Philpott was hardly starving or under stress was he?
He is just murderous scum.

When we read of cases like this, and child rapists who get a smack on the wrist, it seems like it sometimes.
