The man accused of murdering a father and son who died in an Auckland house fire can now be named.<\/p>\n
He is Jaeyoung Jang, from Sunnyhills in East Auckland.<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old first appeared in the Manukau District Court on 24 October where he was granted name suppression.<\/p>\n
An order was then made at a later High Court appearance on 12 November for the suppression to lapse late on Monday night, at 11.59pm.<\/p>\n
On 2 October, emergency services rushed to the fully engulfed home on Murvale Drive at Bucklands Beach.<\/p>\n
The bodies of 36-year-old Jung Sup Lee, and his 11-year-old son Ha-il Lee were found inside.<\/p>\n
A homicide investigation was launched after police said the fire was deliberately lit with an accelerant.<\/p>\n
Jaeyoung Jang has pleaded not guilty to murdering the pair.<\/p>\n
Their family on Monday spoke out for the first time to RNZ National Crime Correspondent Sam Sherwood about what happened, revealing heroic actions of a father who died trying to save his youngest son.<\/p>\n
