A 43-year-old man was taken to Merrylands Police Station for questioning, where he has since been charged. The boys were being cared for by family members.
He was refused bail. The father did not enter a plea or apply for bail and will remain in custody until he faces Campbelltown Local Court on December 14, reports 9 news.
Reports claim that neighbours allegedly heard a woman’s screams as the fire ripped through the home. But when firefighters arrived at the Clement Street St house, there was nothing they could do to save Ms Barati.
