Mr Rix’s son Mark told reporters that his father had been staying at the house, which was up for sale.
The house was actually owned by Mr Rix’s daughter and son-in-law, he said.
“It’s been deliberately lit,” he said.
“You don’t have to be Einstein to work it out. There’s that many people dirty on my father for something he didn’t do.
“They are just scumbags. They do things behind your back. God help them if I find out who’s done it.”
Police have closed two of three eastbound lanes on Gardeners Road while investigations continue.
Mr Rix, 82, was a person of interest at the inquest into the death of a Sydney teenage prostitute, which was adjourned last October.
The remains of Arron Light, 17, were found buried on the banks of a canal in Sydney’s inner west in March 2002.
