Robert Paul Long, aged 37, faced the Bundaberg Magistrates Court in Queensland yesterday, charged with the murders of 22-year-old Western Australian twins Kellie June Slarke and Stacey Louise Slarke and the arson of the Palace Backpackers Hostel in Childers.
On the night of June 23, Long was staying at the hostel in the small town when the ageing timber building turned into an inferno, killing 15 people.
