9News has obtained information about the events leading up to the tragic fire at a home in Brisbane's bayside that claimed the lives of an eight-year-old girl and her babysitter. The incident occurred on Sunday morning, and CCTV footage from the Bayside Court complex has revealed some shocking details.
According to the footage, a white SUV can be seen leaving the complex at around 7:10 am, just three minutes before smoke was spotted coming from the home. Concerned neighbors rushed to the scene to investigate, and the SUV was seen returning just four minutes later. By this time, a crowd had gathered on the street, calling for help.
The CCTV footage has now become crucial evidence in the ongoing police investigation. It is believed that the male driver of the SUV is a resident of the home that was engulfed in flames. Tragically, both eight-year-old Raven and her 31-year-old babysitter, Stephanie Ryan, lost their lives in the fire. Questions have been raised about the man's movements, but police have spoken to him extensively and have corroborated his story so far.
The SUV was later towed and is currently being examined by authorities. Police are also reviewing footage from inside the complex, but at this time, there are no suspects in the case. Detective Inspector Paul Dalton has stated that while the behavior of the driver may seem odd, there is no confirmed evidence of any sinister motives.
He also emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and that the cause of the fire and the deaths of the victims have yet to be determined. The community is understandably shaken by this tragedy, and the police are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist with the investigation. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of Raven and Stephanie during this difficult time.
