Police in Victoria are investigating suspicious fires at three Melbourne churches where paedophile priests have served in the past.
St Mary’s Catholic Church in Dandenong is the latest to suffer from what police are calling a suspicious fire.
The blaze started in the early hours of Tuesday, causing extensive damage.
On Monday fire almost destroyed the 123-year-old St James Church in Brighton, while a separate fire damaged St Mary’s Church in St Kilda East.
The Dandenong church was one of eight Catholic churches linked to priest Kevin O’Donnell, who sexually abused children throughout his 50-year career in Melbourne parishes.
