A mother and her two children are believed to have died in a Melbourne housefire despite the frantic attempts of neighbours to save them.
The bodies were found together in a back room of the Clayton South home, but the devastation left by the inferno was so great that police can’t yet confirm how many members of the family died.
The family from southern India – a 37-year-old woman, two boys aged five and nine and a man – lived in the home. The father is believed to be overseas.
Neighbours tried to save the family as fire engulfed the home about 1am (AEST) on Friday.
Mina Tranfaglia said her son and a neighbour attempted to rescue the mother through her bedroom window.
“He tried to break the window to let her out,” she said. “My son and the other guy, they just called her name.”
Rose Zouros said she was woken by noises from the home.
“It sounded like someone was hammering, and then I just heard a scream,” she said.
Detective Senior Sergeant Jeff Maher said more than one person died in the fire, but he could not say exactly how many.
“There’s a lot of damage done to the premises, but there’s also a lot of damage done to the deceased as well,” he said.
“Sometimes you just cannot tell how many are deceased.”
Disaster victim identification teams, crime scene investigators and the arson squad are sifting through the wreckage of the house.
Det Sen Sgt Maher said it would take some time to identify the victims.
“You had the same situation at the Black Saturday fires. If you think back to that, it was very difficult. Well it’s the same situation here.”
The principal of the boys’ school, St Peters Primary School in Clayton, said the news had hit their classmates hard and the close-knit school community was devastated.
“Our school is grieving very, very badly today,” Philip O’Gorman told reporters.
The entire student body of 260 students gathered on Friday morning for a prayer service.
“The children said this morning they remembered their smiles,” Mr O’Gorman said.
“They were both very happy boys; we loved them dearly as students of our school and we’re going to miss them a lot.”
Classmates made a tribute to the boys, surrounding their class work with silver stars, candles and messages.
“He played with me,” said one tribute.
“Kindest kid on earth,” said another.
