does any remembers someone coming home that night possibly smelling of petrol or with singed clothing?

Also The nightclub's front door was damaged by the flames, but no-one else was injured. That implies the door was a person.

When will the memorial service be? I would love to attend and give my condolences to the family.

"No one else" other than the arsonist?

I was expecting it to be in California, near Stanford, and was wondering how much they must have loosened up to let a nightclub set up in town!

That was my first thought, too!

In the US, the fellow would sue the retailer of the fuel and the refiner for not properly warning him about self-immolation. 12 fuckwits would agree with the premise, too.

The bottle probably has several highly flammable warnings on it, which he obviously heeded in an attempt to light something on fire...
