Bomber 'rigged house to blow up'

A MAN who died when a house exploded at Beerwah is believed to have rigged the blast, sources told the Daily yesterday.

An 11-year-old girl, still carrying a garden chair that the man had taped her to, escaped from the home minutes before it was ripped apart.

Beerwah police officers Peter Wells and Paul Kethro responded to a call after the schoolgirl was taken captive by her mother's former partner.

The youngster had just returned home from school on Tuesday afternoon.

When the senior constables went to the home on the corner of Phipps St and Beerwah Pde about 4pm, the man warned them to get away.

“F*** off or I'll blow this place up,” a voice from inside the home said.

The officers begged the man to release the girl, and minutes later she came out.

The Daily understands the 33-year-old man, who did not live at the house, had called the child's mother once he had his victim strapped to the chair inside the house.

“I've got your kid,” he reportedly told the distraught woman.

He then told her to come to the house.

She was not to contact police.

Sources told the Daily the frightened woman told her employer of the threat to her child before racing home.

The employer then called the police.
