A fatal house fire which killed a 14-year-old boy could be linked to a street fight earlier in the evening, police claim.
A mother and her five children managed to escape the inferno as it ripped through the Montana Way home in Macquarie Fields in Sydney s south-west.
But the body of the teenager was reportedly found under a bed in the burnt out shell of his bedroom at the rear of the house.
Now detectives are investigating if there is any connection between the earlier brawl and the deadly blaze which erupted at 1.35am on Wednesday.
