A fire which destroyed an elderly couple’s home in Gunnedah overnight, is believed to have been deliberately lit.
The Conadilly Street home was fully alight, when firefighters arrived there at 3 o’clock this morning.
Neighbours helped residents to safety.
The blaze also forced the evacuation of a nearby motel.
Two burnt out Molotov cocktails were found in an adjacent street, hours later.
Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers.
