[2] The parents of the children, Mairead and Mick Philpott, along with their friend Paul Mosley, were later arrested and charged with murder.
The children were asleep upstairs in the house when the fire began, with their parents downstairs.
[7] Following the release of the pair Assistant Chief Constable Steve Cotterill said that "While I thank those members of the community who have come forward with information I am surprised by how few people have contacted us.
Normally in cases of this scale more information is passed to the police...I strongly suspect that there is someone out there in the community who knows more than we are being told.
[10] The criminal trial began on 12 February 2013 at Nottingham Crown Court before judge Kathryn Thirlwall.
[11] On 2 April, Mick and Mairead Philpott, along with Paul Mosley, were each found guilty of the manslaughter of the six children.
