Deliberately lit fire arrest

They were among four charged over the fire on Saturday, March 23, which is believed to have been a case of mistaken identity.
The occupants of the home, a 28-year-old man and 33-year-old woman, were woken by the blaze and suffered second and third degree burns to their hands and lower bodies as they escaped the fire. Both were taken to hospital in serious conditions but have since been released.
Police believe the fire was allegedly deliberately lit, however, with the occupants only moving 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.
It is alleged the fires were deliberately lit as a retaliation to a shooting incident in Fairfield West on Sunday, March 17.
Following extensive inquiries, including a public appeal for information, detectives raided several homes last week.
A 25-year-old arrested at Chester Hill, was charged with destroy/damage property with intent to endanger life, destroy etc property in company use fire etc more than $5,000, possess housebreaking implements and fail to comply digital evidence access order direction, while the other man, a 21-year-old, was charged with destroy/damage property with intent to endanger life and fail to comply digital evidence access order direction.
Another 25-year-old and a 23-year old have also been charged.
