QLD:'We just got out': slain teen's family reveal fire hell

The parents of murdered teenager Angus Beaumont say they escaped their burning home just in time as the family deals with another huge blow.

Ben Beaumont and Michelle Liddle said they fled as their house north of Brisbane was "burning to the ground".

The blaze was allegedly started by Corey Wardle, the 36-year-old son of Ms Liddle from a previous relationship.

He is in a mental health facility after being charged with arson and attempted murder, a Brisbane court was told on Monday.

In March 2020 the family lost 15-year-old Angus after he was fatally stabbed by two teenagers in a Redcliffe car park north of Brisbane.

Six years later they are again reeling after the suspected arson attack destroyed their Clontarf residence and gardening business.
