In May last year, Rompapas threw petrol around his family’s home in Pooraka, a suburb in Adelaide, and set it alight.
The fire caused burns to his two youngest sons, then aged 15 and 17.
Previously Mrs Rompapas had told The Advertiser that she used an old fire extinguisher to save her sons’ lives during the house fire.
“I see my middle son’s feet in flames, he’s running into the courtyard,” she said at the time.
“I see my young son in a fireball, I’m quickly grabbing a fire extinguisher and putting the flames all over his body out, then I chucked him in the shower cubicle – there were flames everywhere.
“I turned the cold water on, my son was really burning up with the pants, he must have pulled the pants off himself and he must have taken skin (off) as well. To see your own kid burn…”
