HOMICIDE detectives are investigating foul play in the housefire deaths of a Brisbane couple.
Retired army officer Glen Fry and his wife Flora were found dead after fire destroyed their two-storey brick home in the north Brisbane suburb of Bracken Ridge on Friday.
Their 17-year-old daughter escaped but suffered serious burns to her face, chest, arms and airway.
The couple's 21-year-old daughter and her 20-year-old boyfriend also escaped.
On Friday, police said they did not believe the fire involved foul play but on Saturday evening they released a statement saying they were treating both the fire and the two deaths as suspicious.
Police Commissioner Ian Stewart says the homicide squad is involved in the investigation.
"There is some evidence that would indicate foul play," he told reporters on the Gold Coast on Monday.
"While I won't discuss the actual evidence, certainly it's taken a turn in that direction (homicide).
"It is a disturbing turn but any crime where people lose their lives is treated very, very seriously by us."
Police wouldn't confirm reports that two separate fire ignition points were found in the home, and that a post-mortem examination revealed unexplained injuries on the body of Mr Fry.
"All we can tell you is that the fire is being treated as suspicious and the investigation is ongoing," a police spokesman told AAP.
The 17-year-old girl remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Her older sister is also in hospital in a stable condition after she suffered burns to her arms and legs and cuts to her feet.
The 20-year-old man has been discharged. He was admitted with minor burns to his legs and injuries to his feet and hands.
The bodies of the couple were found in bed in the main bedroom on the home's second storey.
