A grandiose mansion that once hosted the notorious wedding of disgraced politician Salim Mehajer is now the center of attention once again, this time for a suspected firebombing. The luxurious four-storey property, located on Francs Street in Lidcombe, Sydney, was allegedly attacked last night at 9:30 pm.
It was a concerned neighbor who alerted the authorities when they heard the fire alarm of the property blaring. Fire and Rescue NSW quickly arrived at the scene to assess the situation. According to firefighters, the blaze is being treated as suspicious and the investigation is ongoing.
FRNSW Superintendent Adam Dewberry stated that the responding firefighters have identified some alarming factors that led to the fire's ignition. As trained professionals, they were able to detect burn patterns and fire behavior that were not consistent with an accidental fire.
Eyewitnesses also reported some intriguing sightings. One resident claimed to have seen a man attempting to kick down the property's door, while another stated that they saw a person dressed in black fleeing the scene. These testimonies will surely aid in the ongoing investigation.
The mansion, infamous for hosting Mehajer's extravagant wedding where the entire street was shut down, was recently sold by the bank for a whopping $3.85 million, just two months ago. It is believed that the new owners had plans to tone down the property and resell it.
Meanwhile, Mehajer, the former deputy mayor of Auburn, is currently serving time behind bars for fraud and domestic violence charges. He is expected to be eligible for parole in six months.
