QLD:Arson attack destroys home of parents of murdered teen

The family of a 15-year-old boy stabbed to death in a car park has suffered a fresh blow after their house was "burnt to the ground" in a suspected arson attack.

The home in Clontarf, north of Brisbane, was set alight just before 2pm on Saturday.

Police will allege a 36-year-old man "used an accelerant to set fire to a house in Weaber St before fleeing".

No one was hurt in the attack, but the property was destroyed, Queensland Police said in a statement on Sunday.

The family home belongs to Ben Beaumont and Michelle Liddle, the parents of murdered Queensland teenager Angus Beaumont.

The teenager died after he was stabbed to death by two boys in a car park in Redcliffe.
