It is a somber scene outside the home in Lalor Park, Blacktown, Sydney's west, where a tragic fire took the lives of three innocent children. The community has come together to pay their respects, leaving flowers and candles as a tribute to the young lives lost. Amidst the heartbreaking news, there are also allegations that the children's father may have hindered the efforts of emergency services to save them.
One heartfelt message left on a bouquet of flowers reads, "Rest in peace sweet innocent children." As police and investigators continue to search the home, the devastating events of that fateful night are slowly unfolding. The blaze broke out around 1am on Sunday, and despite the valiant efforts of rescue crews and locals, two boys aged three and six could not be revived. Tragically, a baby girl was also found deceased inside the home.
Meanwhile, Dean Heasman, the father of the children, was reportedly pushing the children back into the burning building as others were trying to save them. He was later put into an induced coma, while a nine-year-old girl and three boys aged four, seven, and 11 were rushed to the hospital, along with a 29-year-old woman who was also treated for injuries.
According to witnesses, the surviving children claimed that their father had ordered them to stay inside the burning house, and one of them even said that he had tried to fight back in an attempt to save his siblings. Neighbors have also come forward, stating that they saw Heasman trying to drag the terrified children back into the flames, while he was shouting, "leave me here to die."
In a tragic turn of events, it is now being alleged that Heasman intentionally prevented the rescue of his own children. "We're alleging that 28-year-old man took direct actions to prevent the rescue of those young lives that were lost," stated NSW Police Homicide Squad Superintendent Danny Doherty. The entire community is left reeling from the loss of these young lives and the shocking revelation of a father potentially hindering the efforts to save them.
