The accused paedophile Frederick Rix says he fears for his life and that the fire that engulfed his Rosebery home yesterday was a deliberate firebomb attack.
Mr Rix, 82, is a person of interest at the inquest into the death of a Sydney teenage prostitute, set to resume in October.
He told the Herald yesterday he had been harassed and abused for years as a result of allegations against him and that those responsible for the fire had clearly meant to cause harm.
Engulfed by fire … the Rosebery home of Fred Rix.
”They thought I was inside and they wanted to finish the job,” he said.
Police are still investigating the cause of the fire and are yet to determine whether it was deliberately lit. Mr Rix had been in court yesterday when police phoned to tell him about the fire, which ripped through the top floor of the three-storey Gardeners Road property just after 10.20am.
