Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Bolton says: “I hope the news of arrests brings some reassurance to the Cockle Bay community.” — “Police are now limited in further comment on this investigation as the matter is before the Court.”
A karakia was performed at the Cockle Bay address when investigators discovered a body.
Previously Police did not treat the fire as suspicious after liaising with Fire and Emergency investigators.
