KEY POINTS:
Police say they have identified a number of people they want to question after a Foxton Beach house was torched while the woman occupant slept.
Ameria Whatuira was awakened on Saturday night by the sound of breaking glass and escaped through a window as her home went up in flames.
The house was gutted, destroying all the possessions of Ms Whatuira and her sons, aged six and nine, who were spending the weekend with their father in Porirua.
Police said yesterday they had identified several people of interest, including a person wearing a hoodie see running away from the direction of the blazing house.
Detective Sergeant Grayson Joines said the victim was receiving support from her family and the Levin Victim Support Team.
