AT least 96 people are dead in the bushfires ripping through Victoria, in a disaster which has eclipsed the state's Ash Wednesday devastation of two decades ago. Authorities are continuing a grim search for more bodies as horrific eyewitness accounts emerge from devastated communities. It was estimated at least 750 homes had been lost - 550 of them in the Kinglake area. Victoria Police have confirmed 96 deaths, but the final toll could rise much higher as authorities move further into the affected towns
