Man in court charged with murder by fire A MAN accused of murdering a man by setting him on fire has appeared in a Darwin court. Darin Andrew Clare, 37, appeared barefoot and wearing shorts and a T-shirt before magistrate Greg Smith. Detectives today charged Clare over the death of a 60-year-old in Darwin on Saturday night. At about 8.30pm (CST), police, fire and ambulance units allegedly converged on a home at Coolalinga, on Darwin's outskirts, in response to a report that a man had been set on fire. It has been alleged Clare doused the man with fuel, then set him alight. A female neighbour of the dead man reportedly jumped a fence to go to his aid, but he died yesterday. Clare has been charged with one count of murder and another of failing to rescue or provide help. In a brief hearing today, Clare was remanded in custody until August 22.
