100-a-day habit making blaze monster sick CHILD KILLER SMOKING HIMSELF TO DEATH
EVIL Mick Philpott is smoking himself to death with a 100-a-day habit.
The child killer blows most of his £25-a-week prison allowance on cut-price rolling tobacco.
Jobless sponger Philpott, 59, was jailed in 2013 for killing six of his children in a fire at his home.
A mole at Category A Wakefield Prison in West Yorkshire said: “He is like a bloody chimney and has a cig on the go the whole time.
“He is constantly coughing and spluttering. He says the cigs are going to kill him but he can’t stop.”
Philpott prefers Red Bull tobacco, which is just £3.05 for 12.5g – £2 cheaper than other varieties available to inmates.
He also buys filters and cigarette papers, and invested £1.30 in a rolling machine.
The killer wrecked his teeth before being jailed for manslaughter but began receiving visits from a dentist in prison.
He was then fitted with a full set of dentures at the taxpayers’ expense.
But his smoking habit JIMMY McCLOSKEY has left the £1,000 false teeth stained and dirty.
Philpott received a life sentence for deliberately starting a fire at his home which claimed the lives of his children Duwayne, 13, Jade, 10, John, nine, Jack, seven, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five.
The children’s mother Mairead, 34, and friend Paul Mosley were sentenced to 17 years for manslaughter after being convicted of helping him.
Philpott and then wife Mairead had intended for him to rescue the children then blame the fire on a former lover.
But the plot went terribly wrong, killing the six youngsters who were asleep in the house in Allenton, Derby.
The couple then went on TV and cried crocodile tears as they appealed for information about the inferno.
Mrs Justice Thirlwall, who sentenced father-of-17 Philpott at Nottingham Crown Court, told him: “You are a disturbingly dangerous man.
“Your guiding principle is what Mick Philpott wants, Mick Philpott gets. You have no moral compass.”
In 1978, Philpott was sentenced to seven years for attempted murder and grievous bodily harm after stabbing an ex-girlfriend 27 times after she broke up with him.
Kim Hill, who was just 17 at the time, suffered collapsed lungs and a punctured bladder, liver and kidneys.
Philpott also knifed her mother, Shirley, in the same incident in Spondon, Derbyshire.
