Why in God’s name would they torch the house after robbing it? Even for ghetto scum, that only increases their chances of getting caught [[which does happen).
It sounds like these people wanted cash instead of the stuff or the house. It’s called insurance fraud.
Now everybody is sending them money. Hmm.
Poobert, the article says the family left the home because they were without electricity, and they sought relief from the heat at a relative's house which was air-conditioned. That's pretty consistent with a woman who's about ready to give birth [[and is v-e-r-y uncomfortable, nevermind the blistering hot July), and a spouse who's going to stay by her side. Also, my reading of the story shows 1) the house being set on fire before the robbery, and 2) the neighbor talking about stealing their belongings after the couple left, the ensuing fire, and the robbery.

Is my chronology way off, or is yours?
