Breakthrough in tobacco war firebombing that killed Katie Tangey

Police are investigating a fire that killed 27-year-old Katie Tangey in Truganina on January 16, after she called triple-0 for help while trapped inside the home.
Authorities believe Tangey was an innocent victim of an arson attack related to an illicit tobacco dispute, as she had nothing to do with it.
Detective Inspector Chris Murray described the incident as one of the most tragic he has seen in 38 years of policing, urging anyone with information to come forward.
CCTV showed two men setting the fire, and police have released an image of a man they wish to speak to regarding the case.
