Arson Unit detectives have charged four men over an allegedly deliberately lit house fire last month in South West Sydney which left two people injured.
Police say emergency services were called to King Street in Fairfield West following reports of a house fire. NSW Fire & Rescue attended and extinguished the blaze, which destroyed the property.
The occupants of the home – a 28-year-old man and 33-year-old woman – were awoken by the blaze and treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for second and third degree burns to their hands and lower bodies, believed to have been sustained as they fled the burning house.
The pair were taken to hospital in serious conditions and have both since been released.
Officers attached to Fairfield City Police Area Command established a crime scene before the matter was referred to State Crime Command’s Financial Crimes Squad Arson Unit under Strike Force Booerie.
Initial inquiries revealed the fire was deliberately lit; however, as the occupants of the home had only moved into the house less than a year ago, it is believed they were targeted in a case of mistaken identity.
Further investigations led detectives to believe the fire was linked to another allegedly deliberately lit fire at a barber shop on The Horsley Drive in Wetherill Park three days earlier.
Four men, two aged 25, a 21 year old and a 23 year old, have been arrested and charged.
Police will allege in court the fires were deliberately lit as a retaliation to a shooting incident in Fairfield West on March 17.
