Nerol Doble died in the house fire on Sunday

The son of a woman who died after a horror house fire has faced court charged with her murder.

Emergency services rushed to the home of Nerol Doble on Bribbaree Rd, 50km northwest of Young, at about midday on Sunday after hearing reports she had been injured in a house fire.

The 65-year-old woman was found suffering from severe burns that covered 90 per cent of her body and was flown in a critical condition to Royal North Shore hospital, where she later died.

Ms Doble is understood to have been placed in a bathtub full of ice by a family member before paramedics arrived at the scene. 

A teenage girl sustained burns to her legs and was taken to Young Health Service. 

A crime scene was established and detectives attached to The Hume Police District began making inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Ms Doble’s social media profile shows she had donated to various charities over the years, including to domestic violence causes.

‘For my birthday this year, I’m asking for donations to Rape & Domestic Violence Services – Full Stop Australia,’ she wrote on her page in December.

‘I’ve chosen this nonprofit because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope you’ll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal.’

Domestic violence groups say, if the case against her son is proven, Ms Doble would be the second woman to be killed as a result of DV violence in Australia this year.

A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
