“In the early hours of January 15, 2025, Gaddie and another co-accused, Scott Mathieson, allegedly returned to the scene about 4am armed with four 20-litre fuel containers. After stepping out of the juice bar, Gaddie ignited the premises, sparking a fuel-air explosion that blew the shopfront onto the road and engulfed Gaddie in flames, the court heard.
CCTV footage captured Mathieson driving to the front of the juice bar, before jumping out of an orange Holden commodore to help Gaddie – who was still on fire – into the vehicle, police said.
It is alleged the men then drove past The Alfred hospital but failed to stop to assist Gaddie, instead driving to Mathieson’s Fitzroy apartment.
Mathieson’s girlfriend then allegedly called emergency services, telling Triple Zero that Gaddie’s skin was peeling off. An ambulance arrived at the Fitzroy premises about 45 minutes after the fire, where he was treated at The Alfred but died five months later.”

Ok, so it wasn’t an innocent employee death then.
