Mother dies in hospital after husband, three children perish in Brisbane fire tragedy

The Brisbane mother whose three young children were killed when their father set fire to the family car has died in hospital overnight. Hannah Baxter, 31, was taken to hospital suffering fatal burns after a car containing her three children, who were all aged under 10, was set alight by her estranged husband in the suburb of Camp Hill. It is widely understood the couple where involved in a custody dispute. The couple ran the fitness clinic Integr8 in southeast Brisbane, but residents say it has not opened since December. The adult male who died, Rowan Baxter, was a former New Zealand Warriors NRL player in 2005. Emergency services remain at the scene, which Queensland Police Minister Mark Ryan has described as "horrific".
