New South Wales police and legal experts warn that the person responsible for a fatal fire in the Sydney suburb of Rozelle could be jailed for murder. An accelerant was used to start the blaze on 4 September 2014, which claimed the lives of three people in a unit above the shop where the fire was started. Dr David Hamer of the University of Sydney says that the arsonist could be charged with murder even if they did not intend to kill anyone

New South Wales Deputy Coroner Hugh Dillon has begun the inquest into the deaths of 11 nursing home patients in late 2011, killed in a fire set by nurse Roger Dean. The Coroner’s Court has been told that the drug addict supplied just two references, one by his lover at the time, and that managers at the Quakers Hill Nursing Home checked neither. He was then put in charge of the night shift and had ready access to opioid painkillers. No reports were made to any disciplinary or registered body either about previous misconduct by Dean at St John of God Hospital and St George Hospital
