six dead, 11 missing after Wellington fire

[nzoomed]

None of it really adds up to me, was this a couch on the street outside or inside the building? Looks like the fire started in the top floor.
If its arson, perhaps the couch was set on fire as a distraction? Either way they much have pretty good evidence to suggest it was arson this early on.

I think I  also heard that the couch which was on fire  was outside, though I may have that wrong.

Yeah the details seem a bit vague, but thats the way i took it too.
