"Later that morning, a fire was set deliberately at the house. Cameron died at the scene. His parents, both 54 years of age, have since been released from hospital, however, his 24 year old girlfriend remains in hospital where medical staff describe her condition as critical.
“The family pet dog (no breed) also died at the scene.
