Police are appealing for public assistance amid their investigation into a fatal fire in Sunshine North in February.
Emergency services were called to reports of a panel shop on fire on Bunnett Street just after 4am on Friday, February 23.
Investigators have been told a white dual cab ute pulled up outside the Bunnett Street business at 3.51am, before a male exits the vehicle, emptying the contents of a jerry can on the factory door before igniting it.
He returns to the waiting vehicle as the building goes up in flames, and they flee the scene.
The fire subsequently spread to a building behind the panel shop, a factory on Marshall Street, where two people were sleeping inside at the time.
Tragically, the two men, a 42-year-old and a 48-year-old both from Sunshine North, died at the scene.
Detectives believe the initial fire was a targeted attack and are today releasing CCTV of the vehicle involved in the hope someone may recognise it.
The white dual cab ute has a silver tray and is captured on CCTV travelling on Bunnett Street in a northerly direction.
It was later found burnt out on Gisborne Road in Coimadai at about 5.20am.
Investigators are urging anyone who recognises the vehicle or who may have been in the area the time and has CCTV or dashcam footage to contact police.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
