A relative of the Australian mother and three children killed in a car fire in Brisbane on Feb. 19 has said the children’s father who allegedly set alight their car is a “monster” who the family “exhausted themselves” trying to escape.

Mother-of-three Hannah Baxter, 31, was taking her children Aaliyah, 6, Laianah, 4, and Trey, 3, to school in a family car when the children’s father, Rowan Baxter, 42, allegedly doused the white SUV in petrol and set it on fire.
