Maree Vermont's Tragic Fire and Justice | Australia News

A fiery tragedy claimed Maree Vermont’s life in August 2023, leaving her sons heartbroken and fighting for justice. Found in the ashes of her handcrafted stone home, Maree—60, a self-built artist who’d just finished lead light trims—was killed in a blaze that followed a violent confrontation with British guest Timothy Loosemore. Though a jury found him guilty of manslaughter, not murder, her sons say the assault was fatal and the fire obscured intent. Loosemore, the only other person on the property that night, admitted to an argument and was found with petrol on him and singed hair; evidence suggests Maree fought back. Now, the sons honor her legacy by managing the property and rebuilding it in her memory, while awaiting sentencing in September.
