Brisbane man Rowan Baxter and his three children — all aged under 10 — have died after the car they were in was allegedly set on fire in Raven Street, Camp Hill this morning. The mother of the children, Hannah Baxter, 31, was critically injured in the incident.
The ABC understands Ms Baxter jumped from the vehicle and yelled "he's poured petrol on me".
Queensland police attended the scene about 8.30am where the three children aged six, four and three were found deceased inside the vehicle.
Police said Mr Baxter had self-inflicted stab wounds and had got himself out of the car, but died at the scene.
