A person was killed in a house fire at New Beith in the early hours of this morning.
The woman, 31, was “known to the occupants but does not live at the residence”, a police statement said.
She was found dead inside the house.
A 30-year-old woman and three children aged 5, 3 and 2 escaped the residence without injuries but have been taken to the Royal Brisbane Hospital for observation.
A 33-year-old man, also from the residence, has sustained critical burns and was transported to the Royal Brisbane Hospital.
Preliminary investigations by police suggest the fire is suspicious.
A crime scene has been declared and investigations into this matter are now underway.
