HOMICIDE detectives investigating the deaths of a couple in a Brisbane housefire say they have no suspects at this stage.
Retired army officer Glen Fry and his wife Flora were found dead after fire destroyed their two-storey brick home in the north Brisbane suburb of Bracken Ridge last Friday.
Their youngest daughter, 17, survived, but her face, chest, arms and airway were badly burnt.
She is not well enough to speak to police.
Detectives have interviewed the couple's oldest daughter, 21, and her boyfriend, 20, who also escaped the inferno.
"They have been very forthcoming and helpful," Detective Inspector Graham Clark told reporters on Monday.
"At this stage there doesn't appear to be any suspects."
He said there was also no sign of a break-in.
Asked if the parents' deaths were a result of the fire, Det Insp Clark said it was too early to say because he was waiting for the full autopsy results.
He declined to say whether the couple had any other injuries apart from burns, but he did say it appeared the deaths "were not accidental or natural".
The house is unsafe and is expected to be bulldozed once forensic teams have finished their investigations.
On Friday, police said they did not suspect foul play, but on Saturday evening they began treating the fire and the two deaths as suspicious.
Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said earlier on Monday there was evidence that would indicate foul play.
"While I won't discuss the actual evidence, certainly it's taken a turn in that direction," he told reporters on the Gold Coast.
"It is a disturbing turn, but any crime where people lose their lives is treated very, very seriously by us."
Police wouldn't confirm reports that two separate fire ignition points were found in the home.
