A neighbour has described how a "desperate" father whose three children were killed in a townhouse fire in Melbourne's south-east was shouting "please save my daughters" before he tried several times to enter the burning home.
Neighbours say Hiroyuki Kikuchi, 50, sustained burns after he attempted to enter the Glen Waverley townhouse on Tulloch Grove as a blaze, in which the girls' mother also perished, took hold in the early hours of Sunday.
The bodies of Kaoru Okano and her three young daughters, aged 3, 5 and 8 were found huddled together in an en suite after fire ravaged their townhouse in Glen Waverley.
