A man who set fire to his wife and stepdaughter and then blamed his dying partner for the horrific attack has been sentenced to life in prison. Roland Griffiths, 41, appeared before Victoria’s Supreme Court stone-faced as he was handed a life sentence for murder. Griffiths taunted his victim, while her children begged him not to light the petrol on fire. “It is hard to imagine the degree of terror she experienced when you poured petrol on her,” Justice Champion said. Griffiths, who has a long history of family violence offences, will serve 32 years before being eligible for parole.
