VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA BUSHFIRE ARSONIST NAMED: SOKULUK

3NEWS:

Name suppression has been lifted for the Victorian man who is accused of lighting a bushfire that killed 21 people.

Brendan Sokaluk, 39-years-old, is accused of starting the fire last Saturday that swept through the Gippsland area, destroying 36-thousand hectares.

The man from Churchill was not present at his court hearing in Melbourne today.

He faced one charge of arson causing death, one of intentionally lighting a bushfire, and one count of possessing child pornography.
Sokaluk's lawyer has described his client as a “bit of a loner” and in a “fragile” mental state.

NOT A MUZZIE, OR AN ABO':

Sokaluk Was Volunteer Firefighter!

It has been revealed that a man accused of lighting the Bush fires that caused mass death in the Churchill area is VOLUNTEER CFA FIRE FIGHTER Brendeon Sokaluk. Sokaluk, 39 years old has a name of ethnic Russian slavic non Western European, Non British origin.

MORE:

Sokaluk maintains a MySpace page that given what he has done is spooky.

Sokaluk was clearly bitter on a couple of fronts. A failed relationship with someone called Alexandra resulted in a profile comment of “my interest are to enjoy life to the fallest [sic] and not with alexandra because she roots behind your back and lies a lot.”

The page is scattered with appalling spelling, suggesting that Sokaluk may have been illiterate, or had suffered a learning disability.

In the hero section, Sokaluk writes ” my heroe [sic] is mother earth with out her we all would be dead.”

His MySpace profile also suggests that Sokaluk has an affiliation to a US religious group by the name of “The Truth of God,” a group known to hold extreme views against women clergy and gay people.

Sokaluk worked for his own company, Brendan Scrap Metal Pickup, in Hazelwood, Victoria.

EVEN MORE:

Brendan Sokaluk, the man accused of lighting a fire that killed 21 people in Victoria may have been acting out after being jilted by his possibly firefighter ex, The Inquisitr has learned.

In our earlier post, we noted that Sokaluk was bitter about an ex called Alexandra, writing “my interest are to enjoy life to the fallest [sic] and not with alexandra because she roots behind your back and lies a lot” on his MySpace page.

With thanks to @cravenjade on Twitter, we can reveal that person may be a volunteer bush firefighter, although we don’t yet have her last name.

Alexandra is 31, lives in the Gippsland area, and works in age care as her full time position.

Notably, her profile picture, and other pictures on her MySpace page show her in a CFA (Country Fire Authority) uniform.

Her friends list includes other fire fighters, although disturbingly one set of pictures is made under the title of “pyro;” we’re not sure if that’s the name of the dog pictured, or another reference.

SICK. SAD. SICKENING.
