Hannah Baxter, the mother who was badly burnt in a horrific incident that saw her three children and their father killed in Brisbane, died last night.
Police said it was too early to tell whether it was murder-suicide or an accident, although one witness told News Corp Ms Baxter had run from the car screaming,"He's poured petrol on me."
Neighbours reported hearing multiple explosions before seeing the car engulfed in flames in Raven Street at Camp Hill about 8.30am on Wednesday.Another man who tried to help at the scene was also taken to hospital with facial burns.The family was not involved in any Family Court or Federal Court proceedings.
Federal member for Griffith Terri Butler and Labor's candidate for Brisbane City council Matt Campbell place flowers near the scene of the fatal car fire.Detectives are still trying to establish how the fire started. Mr Baxter's Facebook profile is littered with pictures and videos of the three children, along with comments he"loves them to the moon and back" and"daddy misses you all".
