It is believed the woman lived with her in-laws and a one-year-old child. 

"They're a pretty quiet bunch, you never really hear any noises or hear any disturbances," a neighbour told 9NEWS on Sunday. 

Another neighbour, Daniel McCreedy, said that he found the woman burnt after hearing loud scream.

"It was quite distressing.  We found a jerry can in the backyard on fire, which we put out, and then just proceeded to try and look after them." 

The trashed backyard led to a bathroom inside where Mr McCreedy helped the woman's family extinguish the flames.
