Overview
- Police appealed for CCTV and dashcam from Opal Street between 6am and 7am on November 6 to build a timeline.
- Police said it is too early to determine the cause, are not treating the blaze as suspicious at this stage, and have not involved the homicide squad.
- An e‑scooter battery is being examined as one line of inquiry by specialist fire and forensic teams.
- The victims were identified as five‑month‑old Desmond, his 20‑month‑old sister Maddison, a 15‑year‑old girl, and family friend Mathew Chilly, 36.
