Police have asked for the public鈥檚 help in identifying a distinctive container they believe can help them in their investigation into a double homicide in a 鈥渄eliberately lit鈥 Bucklands Beach house fire.
An accelerant was used in the fire and police believe a 10 litre container discovered at the scene is believed to be what was used to bring the substance to the property.
On October 2 at 2.30am, emergency services responded to a house fire on Murvale Drive which resulted in the deaths of two people.
They were 36-year-old Jung Sup Lee and 11-year-old Ha-il Lee.
Ha-il Lee was remembered as a 鈥渄elightful鈥 Bucklands Beach Intermediate student and was called a credit to his family by principal Will Roper.
His older brother, mother and a boarder escaped the blaze and did not suffer any injuries.
