The sister of a 54-year-old Biggenden baker who died in a horror fire with his 10-year-old daughter has spoken about her heartbreak, revealing she was meant to have a double wedding with her brother just days after the tragedy.
Todd and Kirra Mooney were found dead on December 20 at their property at Fenwicks Road, Biggenden.
Lisa-Marree Mooney took to social media to tell people about the tragedy.
“No I didn’t get married as we were supposed to do double wedding and now poor Rebecca has been left with no partner or child,” Ms Mooney wrote.
“My brother was so proud to finally marry the girl of his dreams and the mother of their beloved daughter just 10 years old.”
“I am broken, yet another sibling and niece we have lost – not many of us left now.
“I will let you know when we lay them to rest.”
On Monday night Ms Mooney told 7 News Brisbane it was a shock to find out about her brothers death as they were on the way to Queensland from New South Wales for the wedding.
“Instead of a double wedding, we have a double funeral,” she said.
“(He was the) most gorgeous brother in history and I love him to bits and now I’ll never get to see him again.”
Ms Mooney also spoke about her beloved niece.
“Little Kirra she was such a good little kid, her and Todd were perfect.”
Travel blogger Kristen Olsen, 24, has been charged with two counts of murder along with one count of arson, with police accusing her of lighting the fire on the property that killed Mr Mooney and his daughter Kirra. Olsen has also been charged over a second blaze from the same day.
