A child killer who started a fire that killed seven people has died at the age of 58.

Paul Mosley was sentenced to 14 years in prison for manslaughter after he helped act out his friend's twisted plot to set a home alight in Derby on May 11, 2012.

Ringleader Mick Philpott had conducted the plan so he could act out the hero by saving his children before blaming it all on his former lover.

The pair carried out their 'evil' act with the help of Philpott's wife Mairead - but it went disastrously wrong.

Family members of Mosley have now confirmed his death to DerbyshireLive.
