Eight people died in the fire at a nursing home in Sydney’s north-west. The death toll rose after a 96-year-old woman passed away in hospital last night.

Moreover, a 35-year-old nurse, Roger Dean, has been charged with murder. He is due to appear in court again on Thursday. A NSW police spokesman said he would not speculate on whether Dean will face more murder charges but police does plan to lay additional charges against Dean.

Alma Smith, 73

Lola Bennett, 86

Ella Wood, 97
