Mick Philpott 55-year and his wife Mairead 31-year were arrested Tuesday in connection with the May 11,2012 fire that killed 13-year-old Duwayne, 10-year-old Jade, plus brothers John, nine, Jack, seven, Jessie, six, and five-year-old Jayden.
The 5 children all died in the fire in the house, while Duwayne succumbed to his injuries in the hospital two days later.
The public gallery was crowded during the couple's appearance Friday at Nottingham Crown Court. As Mick Philpott and a tearful-looking Mairead Philpott left the courtroom, people watching from the gallery called out "disgrace" and "scum," Sky News reported.
2 people are asked to leave a hearing before Derby magistrates Thursday following similar abusive interruptions.
The Philpotts were not inside in the house when gasoline was deliberately poured through the mail slot. Police said at the time that Mick Philpott returned to see the fire blazing and made a "valiant" attempt to save his six children.
Jobless Mick Philpott,55 has fathered 17 children in all and been the subject of a television documentary. He recently entered a custody battle with former mistress Lisa Willis, 28, mother to five of his children.
Police initially arrested a 38 year old man and a 28 year old woman on suspicion of murder shortly after the fire, but both were released without charge the after day.
The Philpotts are set to return to Nottingham Crown Court on June 18,2012 for a preliminary hearing.
