Fatal Brisbane car fire: Ex-NRL player Rowan Baxter identified as one of five dead after shocking incident

UPDATE: Hannah Baxter, the mother who initially survived the horror attack in Brisbane today in which her three children were killed by her estranged husband, has died in hospital. Mrs Baxter was initially the only survivor of the attack, but her condition was critical in hospital this afternoon. Tragically, she has become the fifth and final member of the family to die tonight. The couple at the centre of the shocking attack were earlier identified as Rowan and Hannah Baxter. Witnesses have spoken of seeing a woman on fire, believed to be Hannah Baxter, leap out of a burning car on Raven St, Camp Hill, screaming “he’s poured petrol on me”. Three children under the age of 10 and an adult male, believed to be Rowan Baxter, died at the scene. It is understood Rowan also injured himself with a knife during the incident. Hannah Baxter was in a critical condition in hospital with “significant burns”, police said. The vehicle was just metres from Mrs Baxter’s parents’ home when their car exploded into flames. The Courier-Mail can reveal Rowan is a former NZ Warriors player and worked as a fitness coach in Brisbane. It’s understood the couple were involved in a custody battle. Hannah, who was also a fitness coach, is described as "an enthusiastic, passionate mother of three" on the couple’s website. The pair ran Integr8 Fitness at Capalaba. Elite sports people, including former Brisbane bronco legends Sam Thaiday and Matt Gillette, trained at the couple’s gym. Thaiday trained at the gym in 2018 for about 12 weeks. Brisbane Bullets centre Cameron Bairstow and former pro-boxer Faris Chevalier also trained at Integr8 Fitness. Integr8 shut down before Christmas, according to a neighbouring business. The fitness gym closed shut down due to the marriage split between Mr and Mrs Baxter, one employee said. The employee said the business had shut down without notice and the landlord had contacted them seeking the couple’s whereabouts. The mother of three received gold and silver medals in trampoline sports where she represented Australia. “Developing the physical abilities of children is where her true passion lies,” the website says. Hannah worked at the PCYC for seven years teaching Kinder Gymnastics to under-five year olds. In recent months Rowan Baxter flooded his Facebook site with photos and videos of his children. “T-R-E-Y, love you to the moon and back”, he posted just six days ago. “Goodnight my babies, Daddy loves you”, he wrote a month ago. On December 30 he posted a photo of his three children saying “I miss you all”. A major crime scene has been established after three people — including children — died in a car fire at Camp Hill, in Brisbane’s east. Rowan Baxter’s Facebook page indicated troubled times with a friend stating: “chin up brother everything will work out just hang in there my bro”. A neighbour who witnessed the horrific incident told The Courier-Mail a man washing his car rushed across the road with his hose and a bucket of water to offer assistance to the burning woman. The Good Samaritan is said to have hosed down the woman, who was the only survivor from the car. “She was awake and conscious and completely aware of what had happened,” the man said. “Skin was peeling off her, and she held her hands up... bits were hanging off. It was really quite horrific.” If you need Lifeline support • Phone the 24/7 service on 13 11 14 • If it is a life-threatening emergency, phone triple-0
