A paved top detective has described the murder of Burleske Danser Katie Tangey as 'the most tragic' he had seen in his 38-year career.
Katie Tangey, 27, and the golden retriever of her brother Sunny both died in the intended house fire in Truganina, in the west of Melbourne, on January 16.
On Tuesday, the police of Victoria CCTV images of the attack released in the hope that the new information can activate that the murderers will bring to court.
Detective inspector Chris Murray, from the arson and explosives, said that Mrs. Tangey had suffered a 'terrible' death in the bunning attack that is now linked to the tobacco drivers of the city
“There are some crimes that stay with you and this will be one of those,” he said. “The poor girl didn't earn this.
'In my time I would have trouble seeing such a more tragic and horrible matter … She suffered such a terrible fate.
“She didn't deserve to die and it is our job to bring her and the family some peace and some justice.”
Di Murray said that Mrs. Tangey, her family and friends had no ties with criminals or the illegal tobacco industry.

“What we have is one of the most tragic cases I have seen in my 38 years,” he added.
“She was home alone, she was not aware of what was about to unfold. She just had enough time to call Triple-0 and unfortunately died as a result of the fire. '
Murray described the people who light up the fire as 'faceless' and 'intestines' and shouted the ones they knew to hand in them.
“We want some names for those faces. What we do know is this, people will talk, “he said.
“What I will say to them is” having a conscience “. We would say “do the right one”. '
Researchers believe that the arson attack was linked to the illegal tobacco war that has seen a series of fire bombs on buildings in Melbourne for more than a year.
Received information by investigators has suggested that it was a targeted attack, but the perpetrators received the wrong address.
The police have not been able to determine any other reason why Mrs. Tangey, a burlesque dancer known as Vivien May -Royale, or her brother – who owned the house – would have been the target.

“We know it is linked to the illegal tobacco trade … We know that this building was the target, but it is the wrong address,” said Intr Murray.
'Katey Tangey had nothing to do with the illegal tobacco trade, nor her friends, nor her family. I just want to make Kristal clear.
“We are absolutely convinced of that. They have the wrong address. '
Mrs. Tangey had been housed while her brother Ethan and new wife Brooke Tangey were on a honeymoon.
Insp Murray said that the police have long feared that someone would die in the unbridled arson attacks that were related to the war.
While the detective refused to say how the police made the link to the illegal tobacco trade, he confirmed that no other properties died in the Mrs Tangey area, attacked.
“We know they would have said:” We have the wrong address “. So we know that there are people who know that an innocent, young girl has lost her life and we hope they have a conscience, “said Intr Murray.
'Even the most paved crook would be disgusting of what happened here. We know that. We told us.
“So I want someone to place his money where his mouth is and crime stoppers calls.”
