Woman freed on bail over fire that killed two children

After quitting three children of a mother only at home, a smoke alarm rang within two minutes.

The fire would soon swallow the property and kill one -year -old and five young girls.

Their mother, Shahania Lee, claimed that she screamed while watching home security cameras on her phone after leaving.

“Inspectors believe that the screams of references are related to children during the fire,” Detective Senior Officer Chris Mitchell said to Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

He continued: “This is a sad and aggravating situation in relation to this disturbing … Lee worsened than the fact that Lee did not call Triple Zero to help his own children.”

He said he had heard about screaming on a prison phone call registered to Matthew Mcaulliffe, who was jointly accused by Lee.

In calling another registered prison, Lee said that the fire was not his fault, but he left his children alone.

“But as if I have a camera in the kitchen, it’s not completely as I left, so I can be sure that there is nothing like that.”

The shocking details about the Deadly 2024 Blaze, 26 -year -old Lee, were successfully applied for bail through video connection.

Two numbers were accused of negligent man killing, and a neglected person caused serious injury.

Lee left Melbourne’s northwest Sydenham house in a jeep at 9.17 at 9.17 on September 8, 2024.

“In 9.18 and 47 seconds, a smoke alarm is activated in 9.18 and 47 seconds before hearing a child crying.” He said.

The detective claimed that they had left children alone to collect a second -hand car with Mcaulliffe.

He said that the fire started in the main bedroom and that the neighbors were looking for whether they were in the house but they did not respond.

The emergency room arrived at 9.39 and found the children alive but unconscious.

They were taken to the hospital and two young girls died three days later.

The police said that the police were engaged in an expert to examine the possible causes of the fire and that a “likely” box of clothing was ignited.

Det Mitchell said that Mcaulliffe, who made a statement to the police, was a cigarette claiming that he did not smoke in the house.

It is believed that he was the last person to enter the main bedroom before the fire, but Lee said that it was not “possible” from a cigarette.

Jemena Energy examined potential electrical errors at home, but found no evidence that it was an abnormal thing.

Det Mitchell and prosecution opposed bail due to the risk of security and prosperity of the community, and previous crimes involving bail glory and the avoidance of the police.

He is also accused of theft, weapons and theft crimes he will compete at the Werribe Magistrate Court of Magistrates of December.

Lee’s lawyer Sam Norton said his risk was not unacceptable because he wanted him to bail to an NSW address.

He said there was no evidence that Lee knew there was a fire at home when he went out the door, and he was not accused of causing a fire.

“This case has big, big problems, Nort Norton said, adding that his trial could take two years.

Det Mitchell said they are “tryable problems”. He claimed that the fire may have begun before Lee left the house and may be aware of the heat from the door of the closed bedroom.

Mullah Judge Michael Smith approved Lee’s release to MOAMA to NSW under the conditions he reported to the Echuca police in Victoria for three days a week and reported to the police if he changed the address.

He will return to court on January 15th.
