Mick Philpott’s ‘sick and deluded’ pal who helped him kill 6 kids after sex games with his wife to be released from jail
A "SICK" pal of Mick Philpott who helped the vile dad kill his six kids is set to be released from jail after serving just half his sentence.
Paul Mosley was caged for 17 years after being found guilty of the manslaughter of the tragic kids in the devastating blaze.
The 54-year-old was best mates with Philpott and took part in sordid sex games with his wife Mairead even after the children were killed.
It has now emerged dad-of-two Mosley will be freed on licence in May - eight years after he was banged up in 2013.
The fiend is understood to still be protesting his innocence over the blaze that killed Duwayne Philpott, 13, his sister Jade, 10, and brothers Jack, nine, John, eight, Jesse, six and Jayden, five.
Andy Lyons, who is the partner of one of Mosley's sisters and attended every day of the trial, told : "The man is sick, deluded and callous beyond belief."
It comes after Mairead was released from prison earlier this year with a new identity.
The trio were locked up after the blaze in May 2012, which left the nation horrified.
Philpott started the fire with the help of Mosley and Mairead in a twisted plot to frame his former mistress and gain custody of their children.
The scrounging ex-squaddie hoped having custody of the kids would top up his benefits again and told neighbours his ex had threatened to burn the house down.
But the warped plan failed as the house in Allenton, Derby, filled with thick smoke as the tragic children slept upstairs.
Sickeningly, in the wake of the deaths, Philpott put on an extravagant
show of grief.
He and Mairead sobbed as they appealed to the public at a press conference to help “catch their children’s killer.”
After the trio were arrested, it emerged Philpott encouraged Mosley to have sex with Mairead while he first watched, then joined in.
One sordid session took place while police were bugging a hotel roomwhere they had the killers housed.
The trio denied their involvement but each was convicted of six counts of manslaughter after a trial at Nottingham Crown Court in 2013.
Philpott was jailed for life while Mairead and Mosley were each handed 17-year jail terms.

"Sentencing decisions are a matter for the independent judiciary who consider the full facts of each case.
"Since 2005 the majority of criminals serve what are known as 'standard determinate sentences' and are released automatically at the half-way point, serving the second half of their sentence in the community on licence."
